Challenge
Enhancing an underutilised freestanding block of flats by creating seven new homes via two additional storeys whilst preserving the building's architectural integrity in a prominent Bexleyheath location.
Approach
Developing a sensitive massing strategy for the purpose-built detached block of flats that incorporates setbacks, mansard roof forms, and carefully selected materials to ensure the extension harmonises with both the existing building and surrounding streetscape.
Solution
Securing planning approval for a well-integrated upward extension that transforms a freestanding block of flats by delivering seven high-quality homes whilst enhancing communal amenities and maintaining neighbourhood character.
