The Brief
Our clients came to us with the hopes of creating a modern, inviting wrap around extension to their traditional Victorian property in the heart of Streatham.
The brief also entailed complete internal reconfigurations to transform the existing space made up of small rooms with disrupted circulation, into a spacious open plan living arrangement suitable for entertaining.
Our client also requested landscape design for the rear garden with the hopes of achieving a harmonious indoor-outdoor relationship, softening the transition from their new space and bringing elements of the garden indoors by the use of planting and a proposed window seat.

Our Solution
In order to achieve everything that our client had envisioned, we worked closely to find creative solutions by means of internal layout all the way through to material choices.
We explored a variety of forms and materials before deciding on slatted composite cladding, with a great aesthetic and high durability.
The living space was completely uplifted, and many of the original features of the property, such as the marble fireplace and curved walls, were maintained to ensure harmony between the existing and proposed. The end result was a beautiful space where they are able to enjoy each other’s company as well as their guests.
A brand new kitchen is to become the centrepiece of the space, with its high ceiling and elegant combination of materials. These materials will continue throughout the extension, with visual links and contrasts being used to highlight the shift from the kitchen to dining to living. A sophisticated window seat with built-in shelving above creates the perfect space for relaxing and reading on a sunny day.
