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>

The \u2018School House\u2019 is a detached two storey dwelling house circa 1930. It is situated to the southwest of the Edmonton County School.

Teacher recruitment, particularly young and recently qualified teacher recruitment, is becoming increasingly difficult due to the high cost of property and rent for accommodation. The proposal […]<\/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>

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>
