Side return kitchen extension and internal remodel of Victorian Terrace - South London
This London townhouse was in need of modernisation and the kitchen / dining space was cramped with limited levels of light. A side return extension has widened the rooms allowing for a generous swathe of flat roof glazing that bathes the kitchen in natural light. The entire ground floor has been transformed by opening up the space.
“We’ve worked with Ben on two London property projects after he successfully completed an extension planning project for a close family member in Bristol, UK.
Initially Ben developed the design for a single story side and rear of a Victorian terrace garden flat (converting from a 1 bed to 2 bed property) and winning planning for what was at the time the largest extension which had gained approval on our road in Clapham, south london. The project was successfully completed and led to a stunning outcome.
Four years later we re-engaged ben for design and planning support of internal remodelling and side return extension in the ground floor of a six bedroom Victorian terrace in West Dulwich, south London, creating an amazing open plan kitchen/lounge.
Ben is extremely knowledgeable on key areas of architectural design and successfully taking projects through local planning processes end to end. He offers detailed and insightful judgements and recommendations to optimise designs and opine on areas more likely to gain planning approvals. He is friendly, easy to work with and highly capable; his design drawings are accurate and he generously goes above and beyond to offer his time to discuss all aspects of design/build/materials and regulatory considerations – I’d have no hesitation recommending him for any architectural project and look forward to working with him again in the future.”
