This Victorian end-of-terrace property creates a larger kitchen dining area by extending over the existing conservatory as well as into the side return. Internal reconfiguration includes the addition of a downstairs WC and a new utility room.
The new roof lantern, roof lights and folding sliding doors will help create a spacious, light and airy feel to this new part of the family home.
The project is currently under construction and is due to complete in the Autumn of 2018.
This gable roof rear extension to the mid-terrace dwelling adds space and light into the living area and replaces a lean-to conservatory that needed updating.
The aim of the project is to increase the living area in a unique detached house on a street with mainly semi-detached properties. This increase in area would be achieved by building above the existing single storey kitchen and introducing a loft conversion.
The design achieved these aims by balancing the aesthetic needs of the neighbourhood and provision of suffice and internal space. This was done by designing two new gables at a perpendicular plane to the existing one which echo the existing street facing gable. Porthole windows were designed into the new gables. These porthole windows give natural light to the new staircase that leads to the loft conversion as well as to the new large loft room.
The mansard/ box loft extension is set back from the edge of the eave line as well as the ridge line to reduce the impact of the extension.
The proposals gained a lawful development certificate and construction completed in 2016.
