This project involved renovating and adding to a Victorian house. The ground floor was redesigned to fit the needs of a growing family. The extension was designed to create a courtyard in the middle of the house, bringing in more natural light and fresh air to the surrounding rooms.

The build

Start date: 02.03.2022
Completion date: 09.05.2023

A lot of the existing structure was repurposed in order to minimise both the environmental impact and the financial cost. In an effort to reduce carbon emissions, we made the decision to salvage and reuse London stock bricks that were originally part of the demolished side wall. This conscious choice not only helped to reduce waste but also added a touch of authenticity and character to the new design. By incorporating these salvaged materials, we were able to create a seamless blend of old and new, further enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the project.
