No. 70
Design + Planning Application
lvp architects were appointed to design a new single storey extension and internal refurbishment work on a 1850-1900 residential terrace house.
The aim was to reorganise the spaces and update the home with a design solution that would create a more fitting home for the owner.
No.70 is a mid-terraced property within a street of similar dwellings dating back to the 1850-1900s expansion of the city, since then in more recent years there has been a growth in single and two storey rear extensions throughout the street - No.70 itself having a small rear extension
It became apparent that though it already had a rear extension, that build quality and spaces it provided was poor, awkward and unhelpful for what the client wished to achieve in this project.
PROPOSED LAYOUT
The principle was for an open plan, flowing ground floor, with a flowing galley kitchen leading onto a dining area that would overlook the long landscaped.
Introducing a small shower room allowed the creation of a more personal dining space, that opened up and linked the kitchen for those more social home gatherings, that could then flow and link the garden.
A large window frames the garden view, with its soft timber frame, light floods in from above in a carefully positioned rooflights.
EXTERNAL MATERIALS
The existing terrace home is flanked buy textured white rendered extensions, with some existing brick façade elements remaining.
The approach for the new extension is proposed to be of horizontal timber cladding which while framing the large timber window and glazed rear door, counter-balances the heavily textured white rendered of the two and single storey extensions wither side of it.
This allows the extension to be true to being an ‘honest addition’ and ‘subservient’ in nature to the existing house, but also shying away from creating a potentially large white rendered ‘visual’ block to the rear of the terrace.
