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.

Hassi restaurant
Internal refurbishment and Partial new build
Client: Hassi Restaurant
Location: Wimbledon, UK
Total area: appox. 150 sqm
Budget:150,000 £
Status: On hold
The proposal reimagines an existing Japanese restaurant on Durham Road, Raynes Park, through a combination of sensitive refurbishment and partial new build. The 150 sqm premises are reorganised to create a more distinctive and spatially engaging dining environment, extending the restaurant into the underused rear of the property.
At the heart of the proposal is a new Japanese-inspired courtyard, conceived as an extension of the dining experience rather than simply an external space. The courtyard introduces a quieter and more intimate atmosphere, creating a gradual transition between the enclosed interior and open sky.
Natural light forms a key part of the architectural strategy. A new skylight above the extended dining area brings daylight deeper into the plan while establishing a visual connection with the courtyard. Planting, light and enclosure create changing atmospheric qualities throughout the day.
The project offers a contemporary interpretation of Japanese spatial principles through intimate dining spaces, filtered daylight and a strong connection between interior and exterior, creating a unified restaurant experience across the existing and new spaces.






Description
The proposal reimagines an existing Japanese restaurant on Durham Road, Raynes Park, through a sensitive combination of internal refurbishment and partial new build. Located within an established parade of commercial properties, the project seeks to transform the ex-isting 150 sqm premises into a more distinctive and spatially engaging dining environment.
The existing restaurant provides approximately 34 seats within the front dining area and side spaces, while the rear of the property is currently used predominantly for storage. The design proposes to reorganise the existing layout, refurbishing the front dining space and extending the restaurant into the underused rear area.
At the heart of the proposal is a new Japanese-inspired courtyard, conceived as an extension of the dining environment rather than simply an external space. The courtyard introduces a quieter, more intimate character to the rear of the restaurant, creating a transition between the enclosed interior and the open sky.
Natural light becomes a key element of the architectural strategy. A new skylight is intro-duced above the extended dining area, drawing daylight deep into the plan and establishing a visual connection with the courtyard. The interplay of light, planting and enclosure creates changing qualities of atmosphere throughout the day.
The project aims to establish a contemporary interpretation of Japanese spatial principles through a sequence of intimate dining spaces, filtered natural light and a strong connection between interior and exterior. Rather than treating the extension as an addition to the existing building, the proposal seeks to create a unified restaurant experience in which the existing and new spaces are connected through light, landscape and carefully considered spatial transitions.
