refurbishment & extension

the new glazed extension creates a garden room which both expands the living area and also brings daylight into the heart of the house, creating a new living area, connecting ground floor, basement and garden together

a sense of light and space within the compact house is achieved by connecting the interior with the exterior setting, opening up long views at each level as can be seen in this section sketch through house, from street to garden - the openness of the new conservatory extension restores and enhances this connection

the new living room connects the original house with the garden, and provides a focal point to the house

The house was built as part of a terrace some time between 1811 and 1827, backing onto the damp ‘ozier beds’ beside the Chelsea Water Works - where willows would have been grown for basket-making.

the new kitchen has been designed to look like a freestanding piece of furniture, inserted within the larger room
