We worked closely with our clients over two phases to help complete this fantastic terraced family home in Clapham. The first phase consisted of the kitchen and side return refurbishment. An existing side return extension had previously been carried out as a basic and functional timber structure, alongside an introspective kitchen, with very little connection to the rear garden.
Installation of new minimal framed sliding doors, and crisp structural glass and breakfast booth to the old extension transformed the space into a calm and light contemporary room. The new modern insertions successfully distinguish themselves from the traditional features of the original house, and provide space to enjoy family life in the kitchen and garden beyond.
Phase two consisted of a loft conversion, and the replacement and re-organisation of 2 bathrooms. The family bathroom at first floor also involved reorganising access into the rear bedroom, making the storage far more efficient, and introducing a contemporary anteroom off the traditional hallway. This was painted in Railings and tiled in the same geometric floor as the bathroom. The second bathroom is a more grown-up shower room with terrazzo porcelain tiles and a generous vanity unit.
The new loft provides the bedroom and en-suite for an au pair and a study. This wonderfully light space provides views across the rooftops, with a large pocket door between the bedroom and en-suite allowing both rooms to enjoy the garden aspect. Contemporary aluminium and timber windows provide a soft white interior and a sharp external treatment to match the ground floor aesthetic.
