Kew Gardens – Residential Extension and Refurbishment

Extension and extensive remodelling of 5 bedroom semi-detached house

Client Brief: The client desired to extend and completely remodel the interiors of this 5 bedroom house in Kew Gardens.

Solution: Our solution replaced the original rear ground floor conservatories which looked cluttered with a full-width modern extension, compromising sliding aluminium doors to the garden.  A side extension and loft conversion were also incorporated into the design to produce a simple, yet modern rear elevation (see before and after images below).  A canopy provides much-needed shade in the summer and shelter when raining.  The interiors were extensively remodelled, making best use of internal space, maximising movement around the house and improving all aspects of the house.  The design achieved a functional, spacious and flowing layout ideal for a modern professorial family.

Before and After:

Services: Scheme Design, Planning, Building Control, Tender, Construction drawings

Key Features:  Fully opening rear ground floor elevation to the garden to take full advantage of views of the garden and provide a great kitchen with entertaining space , whilst also being very comfortable for everyday family use.  Replacing existing French doors and windows of rear ground floor with full width modern glazing.  Zinc canopy acts as an weatherproof element and summer shading above the new sliding doors.
