Side return extension and double-height garden room
Location: Peckham, Southwark, London

Our clients' Victorian terraced house in a Peckham conservation area ignored its very long garden. A new side return extension and a fully glazed double-height garden room now open the kitchen and dining space to it, with a study above. We insulated the previously uninsulated rear walls externally to cut energy use, and left the Douglas fir joists and main steel beam exposed. The project was shortlisted for the NLA Don't Move, Improve! awards in 2017.

The insulated rear walls are finished in a rough dark-grey render. New steel structure was carefully coordinated with the large windows and rooflights so as not to obstruct the corner access and sight lines. The thin-framed sliding doors open at the corner, leading onto the paved terrace and the garden beyond.
