This project involves the extension of a fine semi-detached Victorian redbrick period house dating from c. 1870 to create new living spaces with ancillary accommodation and facilities to make the house suitable for contemporary family living.
Planning permission granted. Construction commencing Aug 2023
Project Description goes here
Garden Elevation
The new tripartite garden elevation forms a strong horizontal counterpoint to the vertical three-story return to the original house.
Book-ended by brickwork piers the canopy roof is supported by slender steel columns in front of a fine glazed elevation, with a height comparable to the reception rooms of the original house.

Cross Section through Kitchen / Dining / Living
The stepped ceiling height here functionally separates the kitchen cooking area from the dining and living room, all of which is overlooked by their rear reception room of the original house.

Merging old and new
Stepping down from the floor level at the front of the house to the lower original floor level at the rear, old and new are joined on either side of a large new lightwell roof light that ensures daylight continues to pour into the original house.

Ceiling heights
The challenge with any old house is to create contemporary living spaces of a scale comparable to the original formal reception rooms.
In this instance the new roof over the ground floor extension area steps up higher than the old ceiling level to the back of the original house, ensuring a generous flow of space throughout.

Toplighting
Large new roof lights ensure that daylight pours into the interior and animates the main living spaces throughout the course of the day.

Views through the house
The floor plan has been arranged to have all the benefits of open plan living but with the functionality of closing off separate areas, whilst also maintaining the original character of the older rooms.
