Elmbank House

Rear Extension

The property is a Victorian mid-terraced, two storey, 3 bed room house, Built in rick work which form an 'M’ type butterfly roof .

The property consists of an L shaped footprint with along two storey projected rear building. The house is very narrow and internal walls block the flow of move and light and there was limited access to the garden.

The owner wishes to improve the property by erecting a roof extension at second floor level in the shape of a mansard and to have a side return in the form of ‘lean-to-roof’ at ground level along the rear projected wing.

A large open plan living space was created by opening up the front and rear reception rooms with new side infill space, providing ample living and family gathering space for our client’s young child and unborn baby.

A fully glazed skylight to the side extension allows for increased light levels and improved connections between the spaces linking the front of the house to the rear garden with side bench seating area along the new frank wall.

To rear facade, A large glass pivoting window enables people can seat from in and out of the house enjoying reading and dinning.

A calm material palette of reclaimed bricks and oak flooring gives a sense of warmth and texture to the home.

The rich detailing gives a tactile scale to the new domestic spaces.

The site comprises a two storey semi-detached dwelling located on the east side of Barton Green. The surrounding area is predominantly residential in character and appearance consisting mainly of semi-detached dwellings.

The owner sought to improve the property by erecting a single storey side and rear extension and loft conversion within the existing roof shape following the demolition of the existing side extension.

Site context

The site is located adjacent to Sutton Common next to Rosehill. The plot faces Rosehill Recreation Ground to the front and residential block to the rear. The street, Rosehill which meets A297 connects site from Sutton to Merton, Mitcham and to the city centre.

The building is planned to be used as a new Care Home which aimes to serve more than 20 patients in three storey building. As Care Home requires not only private rooms but also generous communal spaces and facilities, we have proposed a South-facing courtyard in the centre of the building which will bring natural lights into each private rooms and shared areas.

Domestic Courtyard and facade design

While the courtyard is opened internally to the patients, the elevations facing the streets are designed to be enclosed from the neighbourhood by using brick walls and slender windows. The facade of the building is composed of brick walls and thin horizontal concrete bands. While the bright red brick makes an ensemble with the residential buildings of the neighborhood, the horizontal concrete band not only breaks down the scale of the building but also brings a character of modern architecture.

The windows of the bedroom and communal spaces have different sizes not only to bring the playful and loose composition to the facade but also reveals internal spaces to exterior facade.

The meeting room invites visitors from the groundfloor which is designed as a bay-like pavilion. The stairs and lift continue up to the roof level to allow residents using the roof top garden.

As the exterior responses with the context of Rosehill, internal spaces is developed to become a domestic Care Home. In response to the idea of domestic Care Home, the south facing courtyard is proposed bringing bright and livable character to the interior.

The courtyard starts from the groundfloor all the way to the top floor and has platform on first floor not only breaking down the scale of the voided space but also offering accessible deck to residents.

A genourous hallway and floor to ceiling windows are planned around the courtyard allowing residents to sit or stay enjoying the sun.

Site context

The site comprises the first floor, purpose buit 30’s stlye maisonette within a two-storey semi-detached property, and a small rear garden.

The property is at the end of the cul-de-sac next to the turning space and there are small front and rear gardens. Most of the dwellings have small rear gardens, as does this property, which backs onto the gardens of houses in Merton Hall Gardens.

A loft conversion is proposed to provide a large space with velux windows above living room in the front & rear slope and above bathroom and staircase on the side slope providing natural light without a domer extension. This loft conversion has been designed to be in keeping with the existing building’s roof shape.
