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.

Residential Conversion & Extension
The proposal transforms a vacant former nursery on Lower Kings Road, Kingston upon Thames, into two spacious family homes through a considered combination of conversion, extension and roof adaptation. The existing building is retained as the basis of the scheme, with carefully integrated interventions including single- and first-floor rear extensions and gable-form side dormers, creating additional living space while responding to the surrounding residential context.
The two homes are organised around a central axis, creating a balanced composition with generous dual-aspect accommodation. Open-plan kitchen, dining and living spaces extend towards the rear garden, strengthening the connection between the homes and their private outdoor spaces.
The front elevation is largely retained, with subtle modifications to the existing arched windows and a new brick-arched entrance porch. At the rear, contemporary extensions and roof forms respond to the varied character of neighbouring properties.
London stock brick, natural slate, timber and sedum roofs establish a coherent material palette, while raised floor levels, skylights and carefully positioned openings address flood risk, daylight and ventilation.
Design proposal
The proposed design is the alternation of existing nursery house to 6 high-quality residential in order to enhance the use of property which has been obsolete for 2 years. The proposal comprises a mix of two studios, one 1-bedroom unit, one 2-bedroom unit and two 3-bedroom units. The height of the building will remain the same, however, in order to accommodate the unit on the third floor (unit 6), side roof dormers will be erected. This design has been influenced by similar developments within the locality of Eastbury Road.
The proposed layout has clear zoning for mixed residential units. The front side has a mix of studio flats and the 1-bedroom unit, while the rear extension area has 3-bedroom units. With the layout above, the rear 3-bedroom units comprise more like town house type with their own private patio garden.
Moreover, the 2-bedroom unit on the second floor comprises more like pent house type with the high ceiling by a gable roof. The existing arch window features also contribute to the special living experience on this 2-bedroom unit.
Description
The proposal seeks to transform a vacant former nursery on Lower Kings Road, Kingston up-on Thames, into two spacious family homes through a considered approach to conversion, ex-tension and roof adaptation.
The design retains the character of the existing building while introducing a series of carefully integrated interventions, including a single-storey rear extension, a first-floor rear extension and gable-form side dormers to accommodate additional living space within the roof.
The two homes are organised around a central axis, creating a balanced architectural composi-tion with generous living environments and dual-aspect accommodation. Open-plan kitchen, dining and living spaces extend towards the rear garden, establishing a direct connection be-tween the interior and private outdoor space.
A key design consideration is the relationship between the existing building and its residential surroundings. The front elevation is largely retained, with subtle modifications to the existing arched windows and the introduction of a brick-arched entrance porch. At the rear, contem-porary extensions and carefully considered roof forms respond to the varied architectural character of the neighbouring properties.
Material choices, including London stock brick, natural slate roof tiles, timber-clad cycle and refuse stores, and sedum green roofs, bring together durability, visual coherence and a softer landscape character. The raised ground floor level responds to flood-risk requirements, while skylights and carefully positioned openings enhance natural daylight, ventilation and the qual-ity of the internal spaces.
The proposal aims to create well-connected, adaptable family homes that balance the character of the existing building with contemporary residential needs.
