Status:Granted planning Permission 2009
Client:Private
This project is for the renovation and addition to a two storey with a three
storey return end of terrace redbrick Victorian dwelling on a site orientated
North-West to South-East
The objectives of the client brief was for additional space, a better quality of
light and the re organisation of the outdoor space whilst making minimal
intervention in the existing 19th century structure.
Responding to the brief for additional space, the house was enlarged by the
partial removal of an existing return and a new single storey extension to the
rear of the main house forming a modern counterpoint to the existing dwelling.
The new brickwork addition provides an open plan kitchen, dining & living
area with a direct relationship to the rear garden whilst also relating to the
existing principle rooms with a 3.3 metre floor to ceiling height and the
location of the kitchen concealed behind full height doors allows for a direct
sightline and view from the main entrance of the house through the new
addition to the garden.
This new intervention, designed to provide for the maximum amount of light in
the new and existing internal spaces is connected to the main reception
rooms by cantilevered stone steps and is rooflit at the junction of the new and
old. The brickwork, in keeping with the existing material of the original ground
floor return and of the adjoining houses, is used both externally & internally for
the roof covering, walls, floors and ceiling with the brickwork floor continued
flush externally to meet with the new lawn, paved areas, terraces, flowerbeds,
carport and boundary treatments.
