A contemporary single storey rear extension in the heart of Streatham, South London. With clean, crisp, simple lines the elegant space creates a new live/work open-plan environment for the client.With a tight budget but large ambition this project proved challenging, yet exciting in creating a new working and living space for the clients who are both based at home in Streatham.

The brief was for a contemporary, elegant and simple rear extension which both compliments and conflicts the existing dwelling. The intention was to replace the existing extension with a more successful, larger alternative. With the use of local materials in the brickwork and adding a slight modernist touch with the render, the end product became a wrap-around box with recessed brickwork and thin aluminium gazing. The use of simple spot lights and overhangs give added depth to the elevations.

A relatively tight budget meant that we had to creatively use a limited palette and geometry to give maximum back to the clients in terms of space and appearance. Using existing levels and slightly lowering the external garden level, a flow through the existing building into the new spaces is created with long walls and floors broken through the use of lighting and finishes. The high ambition and eye for design of the clients along with the commitment and skill of the contractor enabled the initial visions to be fulfilled in the end product. The finished extension is, what we believe, a successful architectural statement in the context of dwelling extensions in central London.
