This end of terrace house needed a loft conversion and ground floor extension but with a modern twist. The client wanted the new top floor to be flooded with light so we were able to introduce gorgeous glazing with a zinc clad chamfered detail. This material is reflected in the lower level kitchen extension with a beautiful glazed wrap-around detail.

Brief

The client wanted a balance between elegance, personality and flair in the design! This terrace house needed a ground floor extension to include open plan kitchen/dining space and will draw light into the centre of the house. The clients also wanted a loft conversion for a master suite, this was to feel like a boutique hotel room and provide a comfortable quiet space to retreat to. The reconfiguration of internal spaces needed to be practical and allow for subtle back of house spaces to be hidden away.

Concept

This project was a lot of fun to design! With a joyful brief and a clear design intent the project came together really well. With the right amount of glazing in the right places (along with a little flair) the inside feels bright and spacious.

The loft has a large sliding door that fully opens up with a Juliet balcony. This allows the user to make the most of fresh air and lovely views but also ensures the rooms privacy.

Challenges

We had to navigate planning restrictions in order to gain the maximum amount of space allowed in the form of a contemporary style dormer. Our team came up with a very thoughtful design the client was really happy with.
