We were asked to assess the feasibility of re-locating an existing language school to a new premises within Eastbourne and converting the existing building into residential apartments. The existing building is within a conservation area not far from the town center, and is a prominent double gable-fronted brick built detached 4 storey Victorian building set within a generous garden with a number of mature trees. Following consultation a planning application was\u00a0submitted in 2013. Planning approval was achieved January 2014.

A discreet dark grey zinc 2nd floor extension was added to the rear of a Victorian terraces house. The house was located in the Clapton Square Conservation Area in central Hackney. The rear was visible from the St John’s Church churchyard nearby, thus the extension was designed to be visually discreet and sensitive to its surroundings.

Loft conversion with rear dormer extension located in Wanstead E11, East London. The original property was a 2 storey period terraced family house with rear out-rigger and rear garden. The stair was extended up to the loft level. A roof window and large trapezoidal rear window to the stair provided lots of daylight to the interior and view out. Glazed steel framed fire rated internal doors provided high quality fittings and a contemporary feel to the interior. Generous glazed sliding full height doors with a glass balustrade allows the loft space to be fully opened up in the summer months […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

The existing school toilets were not ideally placed around the school:\u00a0no toilets were directly accessible from the playground; and all\u00a0in need of refurbishment. Working with the school we came up with a plan to\u00a0consolidate all of the toilets together with direct access from the playground and from the main school corridor. At break time the toilets would only be accessible from the playground, and during lessons only accessible from inside. The toilets were arranged to allow for\u00a0good direct passive supervision from the corridor and playground\u00a0via glazed entry doors looking directly along the cubicle frontages and vanity area.

The existing house is a period\u00a04 storey terraced house in Hackney East London.\u00a0The householder approached us to re-model the entire house suitable for contemporary city living. A number of proposals were looked at re-organising the house to various extents. The final proposal shifts the stair to the rear rising through a\u00a0full height lightwell using screen printed glazing to filter views and daylight in and out. A top floor solarium is\u00a0added with external terrace for private city sun bathing during the summer months. All of the interior is fully re-modelled and contemporary in style to\u00a0suit current lifestyles. Private client<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

No. 127 Glenarm Road is a 3 storey end of terrace property located near to the junction with Chatsworth Road. The existing roof is a ‘butterfly\/London roof’ with central valley gutter and front parapet typical to the victorian housing stock in the area. Hackney planning have a policy to generally resist mansard roof extensions. The householder was keen to extend the house upwards to create a master bedroom with ensuite and external terrace. We set the front of the mansard back to minimise visibility from the street and to provide a small external front roof terrace. The front was fully […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

The client owns a plot on a steeply inclined mountainside site approximately 350m from the beach front. The primary views are out into the Indian Ocean towards an Island to the northwest. The client approached us to design a family house with guest accommodation. A number of different designs were prepared during the scheme design stage. This design is part open plan and part cellularised with the living accommodation on the top floor and the sleeping and guest accommodation below. The design uses a series of planes to define the enclosure with daylight and sun penetration carefully controlled using a […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

The client’s needed more space for their growing family in this two storey terraced house in a quiet residential street in Leytonstone. An existing rear addition was removed and the rear of the house was extended and opened up to create a large open plan kitchen and dining space. A large ‘L’ shape glazed roof window provides lots of natural light deep into the space. A new chimney breast and period fireplace was added to the front living room to provide focus to the room. Built-in joinery storage was provided to either side of the chimney breast with open shelves […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>","max_pages":4}
