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>

This project is a roof extension to add an additional floor to an existing private mews house (circa 1980). The existing mews house is a two storey white painted rendered semi-detached dwelling with a similar pair of dwellings set immediately behind to the east. The homeowner\u00a0has lived in the area for a number of years. He likes the area and the house and is keen to stay, but requires additional space to make the property suitable for his current needs. It is not possible to extend the property outwards. The adjacent buildings to the south and west are three storeys […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

An existing traditional \u00a0detached house located in a small village near to Northallerton (North Yorkshire) was too small for the growing family. The householder is a well known interior design professor and has collaborated with Hardcastle Architects on previous projects around London.\u00a0The\u00a0side extension consists of two cubic forms that offset from each other and the original house and are clad in horizontal timber strips.\u00a0The form, openings, glazing, and material treatment were developed to both contrast and engage with the original traditional rendered and pitched\u00a0roof house. Extensive consultation with the local community and local planning department was carried out to ensure […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

A smaller rectilinear two storey pre-patinated copper clad upper element sits above and contains the bedroom spaces. Construction is planned to start on site in 2019. Private client.

The Twin Group appointed Hardcastle Architects to design and oversee their\u00a0New HQ and language school, and to\u00a0relocate its London head office and school from its current location in Lewisham, to a brand new building in Greenwich Square, London SE10.\u00a0Having been based in Lewisham for 15 years, the move is a huge step for Twin as a business and language school. It will mean that they can increase the number of students that they receive each year, and will be able to offer their students modern facilities in a new school close to Central London.

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>

This is the excavation and conversion of an\u00a0existing basement storage area\u00a0below a Victorian terraced house in Hackney, East London. The basement was excavated to achieve\u00a0sufficient head room\u00a0and new structure installed to the support the house above. A\u00a0drained cavity membrane\u00a0and pump system was used to ensure the basement was fully\u00a0waterproof.\u00a0A new front lightwell\u00a0and rear window provide a\u00a0good level of daylighting and views out augmented with uplighters washing the walls and ceiling.\u00a0A cement based wearing screed with underfloor heating was used for the floor finish. The studio was fitted out with bespoke built-in perimeter desking, storage wall and\u00a0kitchenette. Completed Jan 2013.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>
