Extension and major renovation of a Victorian terraced house. Shortlisted in the Don't Move Improve! Awards 2018
Creating a connection to the garden
After moving into this Victorian terraced house, located in a Conservation Area, our client wanted to make a much stronger connection to the very long garden, which the existing arrangement ignored.
A well-lit, new side return extension creates width for new kitchen and dining spaces, and a dramatic fully-glazed double-height garden room links up to a study space upstairs.
The thin-framed sliding doors open at the corner, leading onto the paved terrace and extensive garden beyond.
Previously uninsulated external walls of the rear structures are insulated externally to significantly reduce energy use, and finished with a rough dark-grey render. New and replaced areas of ceiling are built with exposed Douglas fir joists, which combine with the kitchen and timber flooring to bring warmth to the space.

Mezzanine
New steel structure was carefully coordinated with the large windows and rooflights so as not to obstruct the corner access and sight lines, and the main beam carrying the floors above is left exposed.
