After acquiring the Victorian terraced property, the client engaged us to re-establish a single-family dwelling from its earlier conversion into separate flats.

The focus of the dwelling becomes the new living space, reinforcing the connection of the living space and kitchen with the garden beyond with a contemporary extension. The ground floor was remodelled with the addition of a new open plan living, kitchen, dining and utility areas, skillfully interlinked to maximise the sense of space and offer great views into the garden.

The contemporary style of the new addition is tempered by its weathered copper cladding with glazed links to the existing building bringing natural light deep into the plan. The rear extension was carefully designed to minimise the impact on the neighbours whilst allowing for a flexible ground floor layout with comfortable access to the garden.
