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 applicant site aligns with Victorian 3 storeys terrace houses with shop front and basement. The site is surrounded by diverse public amenities such as groceries, restaurants, post offices, and pharmacies. In terms of transportation, there is a bus stop in front of the applicant site. Moreover, it is under 5-6 min walking distance toward Earls Court tube station and West Brompton Station.
​
In general, the entrance of the applicant site is on the corner of Coleherne Road and it is surrounded by commercial amenities (Starbucks and beauty salon. The south of Coleherne Road is consist of residential units.
Design Brief
The applicant site had granted the proposed scheme in 2009. The proposed scheme is 2 storey one-bedroom unit and the height of the proposed building is not beyond the front retail unit. Thus, the proposal is hidden from the street level to minimise overlook and outlook. Although this proposal attempt to minimise impact to neighbour properties, the proposal is already produced over-development into the applicant site due to its narrow condition sandwiched by neighbour properties. Moreover, Young-In architect articulates that providing the one-bedroom unit in the narrow and besieged condition is not worth enough for living quality and market value.
The design team argues that the proposal could have one more bedroom unit via elevating a more floor, while it has risk on the planning application. Therefore, this design report proposes a new design scheme with the additional floor in order to provide two-bedroom unit. Moreover, the design scheme aims to enhance the living quality in restricted surrounding condition in terms of noise, daylight and view.
