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. The new office and school is […]<\/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 \u2018School House\u2019 is a detached two storey dwelling house circa 1930. It is situated to the southwest of the Edmonton County School. It is part of the overall school complex but sits in its own demise and garden adjacent to the school. The house has been used to provide \u2018on site\u2019 accommodation for the school caretaker, but is no longer required for this use and has been unoccupied for a number of months. Teacher recruitment, particularly young and recently qualified teacher recruitment, is becoming increasingly difficult due to the high cost of property and rent for accommodation.

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>

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>

Hardcastle Architects became involved in this project a number of years ago when the Truman Brewery was mainly unused and before the majority of the re-development was carried out as seen today. The original cafe founders approached us to set up the cafe putting an initial design and layout together and arranging the installation of the basic services, facilities and finishes. The cafe has gone through a number of changes since and continues to enjoy success.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

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. Hardcastle Architects have since secured planning approval for the new school location within Eastbourne town centre. Client: Twin Education Group. Planning […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>

This is a new development for two new houses on an existing site of 4 disused garages. Nestled to one side of a quiet cul-de-sac, close to London Fields in central Hackney E8, East London.

Two houses are provided with a lower ground level for the bedrooms and bathroom. The open plan living accommodation and terraces are at ground and 1st floor.
