Challenge

Given the site’s location within the Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site and the West Greenwich Conservation Area, it was important to adhere to stringent conservation guidelines. The added challenge was that the rear boundary of the site had a locally listed wall, which meant extra precautions were needed to sensitively design an extension that would maximise sunlight and enhance the home's overall aesthetic.

Approach

Demolishing the conservatory to make better use of the home and implementing a thoughtful layout, using modern materials that blend with the conservation area's character.

Solution

Adding a ground floor rear extension with a refined design that enhances both functionality and aesthetic appeal, creating a bright and inviting living space.

Before & After

Architectural floor plan of an existing ground floor layout in a conservation area in Greenwich, showcasing the spatial arrangement of rooms prior to a proposed extension. The plan highlights the original layout of the property, including the positioning of living areas, kitchen, and access points. This image is crucial for understanding the before and after impact of the ground floor extension on the functionality and flow of the space, particularly within the context of preserving the historical character of the surrounding area.
