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>

Loft conversion with rear dormer extension recently completed in Walthamstow E17, East London to create a\u00a0master bedroom space with ensuite. Loft conversions are a\u00a0cost effective way to extend a house\u00a0if the existing\u00a0roof is suitable and the ridge\u00a0high enough. For this project the loft floor and ceiling to the 1st floor bedrooms below had to be\u00a0lowered\u00a0as the existing roof space was marginally too low. A full width dormer extension\u00a0carried out under permitted development rules was added to the rear and a certificate of lawfulness secured (to avoid potential future conveyancing problems). A large window and rooflight together with light coloured finishes […]<\/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>

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. Completed August 2019<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

This is a side infill kitchen extension project in Hackey E8, London Fields. The original property was a 3 storey period terraced single family house located within the Broadway Market Conservation Area. The property and terrace back onto London Fields.

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>

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>
