Extension and complete refurbishment.
The Brief
The existing house had very shallow rooms with a need for more depth throughout the property by extending into the rear garden which is large and south facing. We were to look at extending to the rear and to the end of the property, where we had redundant garden space, to maximise the footprint and yield a series of WOW factor spaces maximising the value of the house.
The brief requested 4 bedrooms plus a luxurious guest space with separate access; large, open plan living spaces with large kitchen/entertaining area, utility and larder; family bathroom space and a high specification ensuite to two bedrooms. In addition, we were to create balconies overlooking a beautiful garden and design a ‘kerb appeal’ frontage facing the sought-after street location.
Buildings of this age lend themselves to use of natural materials like handmade tiles, good quality bricks and external insulation/render systems with timber windows. We specified high quality materials to achieve a highly desirable look which has become a hit on Houzz.
Our Solution
One of our specialisms is the refurbishment and extension of detached 1930’s properties.
Taking the existing small rooms and lack of relationship to a large garden we added a double height rear extension to both ends of the plan and a new garage annex with guest suite.
We wanted to create a view of, and route to the garden from the front door and a series of living spaces to meet our client’s needs. The front of the building needed a fresh approach to the ordinary palette of materials and we re-glazed throughout working closely with a great build team.

Richly Detailed Suite of Basement Rooms in San Francisco, California’s Balboa Terrace Neighborhood
Our clients did not want this project to look like a basement. Four rooms, a hallway and a stair were to be created out of the unused half of their garage. Generous use of glass block brought in warm diffuse light from the south and west. Existing wood posts were covered by fluted Doric columns and built-up wood pilasters. Traditional wood castings and moldings of poplar were custom milled to match the castings on the upper floor. Stone tile and carved stonework were used extensively. Both bedrooms feature custom bookcases with gently arched tops. Lighting includes recessed down lights and wall sconces. Details for the project were inspired by elements that the clients had admired in San Francisco’s City Hall, Lone Mountain College and the Ritz Carlton Hotel.
