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.

Netil Market Extension
The site is surrounded by commercial shops, residential houses, and art studios. Netil market is located across the railway and Netil Market is managed by EatWorkArt.
Netil Market is occupied by creative studios and open to public at weekends. The proposal is to erect a single storey on top of the existing containers for better social connection with visitors and better shopping experience.
The proposed design is with a glazed window on a light timber structure without any detrimental visual impact but improvement of streetscape.
The proposal is to erect a single storey of 8 shops on top of the existing buildings with a walkway. four shops on the upper level are placed alongside the boundary wall with 5.1m from the ground. On the ground floor, there is a welcoming café at the entrance, staircases to access the upper floor, and a corner place to rest for visitors and traders. On the upper level, 8 shops can be approachable by the walkway which accessed by one existing and new stair creating loop circulation.
The proposed design has a timber structure with polycarbonate windows on the street side and glazed windows on the inner side. The timber structure is the most acceptable form that fits among the modern industrial buildings and allows a glance of the market inside from the viewpoint on the street. It also represents the personality of the market as architectural signage with partially colored timbers which contributes strongly to the streetscape.
Netil Market is run by EatWorkArt, who also manage successfully Netil House. The Market was formerly a car park of Netil House at 13-23 Westgate Street. Now, the market becomes the heart of the local community with up to 21 temporary stalls and keen to engage with the neighbours, visitors, and creatives.
Just like the logo of Netil Market, traders, staffs, and artists keep a vibrant and colourful atmosphere and many of the resident food traders have expanded their business.
