Bruno Paolucci ArchitectureMews Development, Barnsbury , Islington N1
Change of Use from Single Family Dwelling to 2no. Apartments
Previous existing condition
Originally arranged on2 floors ( ground and 1st floors), a single family dwelling which formed part of a set of late 20th century mews development dwellings set within a gated and private development.
The original single family dwelling retained a rear garden, largely unused with a smaller*ambiguous ‘garden’ area seen upon arrival from the main street.
As built condition
Planning Approval was successfully gained for the following:
1. Basement extension with ‘sunken’ garden space to south face
Light wells, front and back, in order to allow sufficient light into the interior basement spaces and assist in ‘defining’ the ‘ambiguous’* approach elevation.
2. Creation of a new2ndfloor leveland mansard roof extension: 2 additional floors on top of the original 2 floor single family dwelling development. This is in addition to the basement extension.
3. The above has culminated in the building owner also achieving permission for a change of Use from Single Family Dwelling to 2no. High specification speculative apartments thus:
Flat A x 3 bedroom flat: comprising basement, ground and 1st floors
Flat B x 2 bedroom Flat located on 2nd and 3rd floors(withnew mansard roof).
The development also incorporates the following:
1. Avoidance of Exterior alterations for access
Exterior alterations for access to the upper levels were avoided by concentrating the access requirements within the building’s structural envelope. This was achieved by the intervention of an internal stair that would service the top floor flat and the reconfiguring for the existing stair for the flat below.
Therefore, any incongruous exterior access stair structures, that would necessitate rising up the exterior elevation, were avoided.
2. Two Separate Main entrances:
Each flat has its own separate entrance, Flat A from the South elevation and Flat B from the North Elevation.
Privacy has also be enhanced for occupants since each flat has its own separate entrance.
This design element has also created the added benefit of giving a ‘purpose’ to the north elevation, something which itoriginally lacked.*
3. Exterior Balconies as additions
In addition, the inclusion of light weight balconies that were sympathetic to the original Mews development design have improved the occupants’ well-being and quality of day to day living by creating pockets of additional amenity spaces.
The original aim and intent was to convert an existing single family dwelling into 2 spacious apartments, and yet retain the external appearance of the building as well as avoid imposing external stair structures for access.
This was achieved by adding volume vertically, upward and downward and by carefully creating 2 new stairs internally that also offered privacy to both units.
In doing so, the constraints imposed by the planning department in relation to the sensitive nature of the original Mews development setting were respected and the client’s requirements were successfully achieved.

Innovative Design BuildOur clients wanted a space to gather with friends and family for the children to play. There were 13 support posts that we had to work around. The awkward placement of the posts made the design a challenge. We created a floor plan to incorporate the 13 posts into special features including a built in wine fridge, custom shelving, and a playhouse. Now, some of the most challenging issues add character and a custom feel to the space. In addition to the large gathering areas, we finished out a charming powder room with a blue vanity, round mirror and brass fixtures.
