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.

Alterations to raise the roof to create second floor plus mezzanine floor and basement with alteration to front elevation
Location : Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, UK
Client : Private
Year : 2018-on going
Area : 420 sq.m
stage : Completed in 2022
Site context
The property is located in a predominantly residential area within the Riverside South Conservation Area and overlooks the River Thames to the west. To the south of the application site is the gated entrance to Kensington Gardens, a cul-de-sac, with a terrace of five units (nos. 22-26 Kensington Gardens) facing on to the Portsmouth Road service road. These dwellings are three storeys in height, with pitched roof, and sit some 7m in front of the forward most part of 2 Portsmouth Road, this restricts views toward the site as one approaches from the south.
Proposal
The development involves the raising of the existing roof of this two storey property to provide a second floor, together with a mezzanine floor for master bedroom. Alterations will also be made to the fenestration on the side elevations (north and south), together with an additional couple of windows at second floor level on the rear elevation, roof lights within the raised roof and solar panels on the south facing roof slope. At the front of the property the building line will be brought forward by one metre, a glazed curtain wall set back behind the forward most projection will be created, front balconies at first, second and mezzanine levels will be installed, and alterations will occur to the previously approved access for vehicles to the basement
The proposed building would have a more crisp appearance than the existing dwelling, with a white rendered finish framing the glass curtain wall behind and paying tribute to the boathouse type developments elsewhere along the river frontage. The entrance and circulation areas to the building would receive a different treatment to the glazed areas that front the living accommodation, with a further white rendered wall breaking up the building and framing these areas, whilst dark grey aluminium louvres (and front door) would shield the circulation areas behind. The side elevations would retain a regular pattern of fenestration, not dissimilar to the existing building
The property is located in a predominantly residential area within the Riverside South Conservation Area and overlooks the River Thames to the west. To the south of the application site is the gated entrance to Kensington Gardens, a cul-de-sac, with a terrace of five units (nos. 22-26 Kensington Gardens) facing on to the Portsmouth Road service road. These dwellings are three storeys in height, with pitched roof, and sit some 7m in front of the forward most part of 2 Portsmouth Road, this restricts views toward the site as one approaches from the south. Perpendicular to nos. 22-26 and located behind them (to the east) is another three storey terraced block, comprising six dwellings (nos. 16-21 Kensington Gardens). The other units within Kensington Gardens are two storey dwellings, situated to the east and north-east of the application site. The rear boundary with Kensington Gardens comprises a substantial brick wall that rises halfway up the first floor windows of 2 Portsmouth Road. A pair of garages is situated on the other side of the boundary wall.
