A dramatic reinterpretation of a Victorian Terrace house to create bright, open living spaces. Featuring an additional roof storey and expanded ground level kitchen, the design created combines bright spacious interior with warm natural materials.

This thoughtful and crafted renovation transforms the original home to meet the needs of a growing family, adding almost 50% more floor area and creating bright, open spaces with strong connections to the garden. The design introduces a new rooftop master suite, an expanded kitchen and dining area, an additional family bathroom, and a guest bedroom—providing both comfort and flexibility for modern living.

Natural, organic materials are used throughout the contemporary additions to bring warmth, texture, and a sense of calm to the interior, while supporting a healthy and sustainable home environment.

A bespoke open-tread oak staircase leads to the zinc-clad roof extension, where a dual-aspect master bedroom features full-width glazing over the garden, exposed timber beams, and custom oak joinery—creating a bright, calm retreat.

On the ground floor, the kitchen has been extended with frameless roof glazing that draws light deep into the heart of the home. Finished in natural oak and cork, the kitchen forms a warm social hub, with large sliding glass doors offering seamless access to the hardwood deck and garden beyond.

Significant thermal upgrades to the roof and rear elevation enhance the building’s energy performance. The new roof also accommodates an extensive solar array, further improving efficiency and long-term sustainability.
