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>

Hardcastle Architects were appointed to design a side return kitchen extension to this large Victorian terraced house in Lower Clapton, East London. A new steel structural frame was installed to remove the existing side and rear walls of the kitchen. This provided a much larger open plan kitchen with space for a large dining table, some soft seating, a WC and small utility room. The majority of the side extension roof over the dining table was glazed to ensure the kitchen and rear reception rooms enjoyed good levels of natural light. The garden elevation was fully glazed with a minimally […]<\/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>

Following the transformation of the Edmonton County School Bury Campus entrance, Hardcastle Architects were appointed to re-model the Cambridge Campus library. The library is a well-lit double height space that was originally used as a gym. There was (just) sufficient\u00a0headroom\u00a0to insert a new mezzanine level to provide additional reading and study space and increase the amount of shelf space for books. The new mezzanine and stair are fabricated from slim steel sections that remain exposed with a durable paint finish.\u00a0The glazed balustrade and book shelves are arranged to provide good supervision from the librarian’s desk.\u00a0Perforated timber panelling was used for […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>
