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.

Netil Market Development
Extending the Creative Community
-
The proposed development at Netil Market transforms an existing collection of temporary market structures and containers into a more permanent and connected creative destination, combining a public market at ground level with flexible office accommodation above.
The proposal builds on Netil Market’s established identity as a local destination for independent traders, creative businesses and food operators, retaining the market as the heart of the development. A generous double-height ground-floor space creates an open and welcoming relationship with Westgate Street, maintaining visibility and activity at street level while allowing a mezzanine to be introduced.
Above, the office accommodation is organised as carefully positioned volumes responding to the railway, surrounding streets and residential buildings. Stepped massing reduces the scale towards neighbouring properties, while terraces and balconies provide external amenity. A stronger frontage along Westgate Street gives the development a clearer urban presence.
The proposal also establishes a visual dialogue with Netil House across the railway, reinforcing their shared creative identity and wider role within the local community.
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.
Description
The proposed development at Netil Market transforms an existing collection of temporary market structures and containers into a more permanent and connected creative destination, combining a public market at ground level with new flexible office accommodation above.
Netil Market has developed from a former car park into an important local destination for in-dependent traders, creative businesses and food operators. The market currently provides a vibrant environment for up to 21 stalls and studios, particularly at weekends. The proposal builds on this existing character rather than replacing it, providing a stronger architectural framework for the market while creating opportunities for businesses to grow.
The central idea is to retain the market as a public ground. A generous, double-height ground-floor space creates an open relationship between the street and the market, allowing the activi-ty of the market to remain visible and accessible from Westgate Street. The enlarged vertical volume provides an airy and bright environment while allowing a mezzanine level to be intro-duced without losing the character of an indoor market.
Above this public base, the new office accommodation is conceived as a series of carefully positioned volumes. The building responds to its different surroundings: the larger scale of the railway and the more intimate scale of the surrounding streets and residential buildings. The resulting composition creates a lower building and taller tower-like element, forming an L-shaped urban figure that responds to the scale and character of the surrounding context.
The rear of the building is stepped to respond to the neighbouring context, reducing the scale towards the residential buildings while creating opportunities for external terraces and balco-nies. The front elevation establishes a clearer urban frontage along Westgate Street, giving the market and new offices a stronger presence within the streetscape.
A key part of the architectural strategy is the relationship between the ground-floor market and the office accommodation above. The market is expressed as a strong public plinth, while the upper volumes are designed to appear lighter and more contemporary. This distinction al-lows the public realm at ground level to remain visually prominent while giving the new workspace its own identity.
The façade design explores a balance between openness, daylight and environmental control. Regular façade modules provide flexibility for different office layouts, while larger areas of glazing create contemporary workspaces with generous natural light. Vertical elements and recessed glazing can provide solar control, visual depth and a transition between the scale of the market frontage and the offices above.
The proposal is also intended to strengthen the wider relationship between Netil Market and Netil House. Although separated by the railway, the two developments share a common crea-tive community and urban identity. The design uses corresponding architectural elements on the two buildings to create a visual dialogue across the railway and reinforce them as parts of one wider urban figure.
The development therefore combines workspace, independent retail, food and social activity within a single mixed-use environment. By providing a stronger permanent setting for the existing market and new opportunities for creative businesses, the proposal supports the continued evolution of Netil as a place for independent enterprise, community and cultural activity.
