Looking at the derelict bungalow they owned in suburban London, our clients wondered how best to maximise its value. They considered refurbishing it, adding another floor to make it a bigger house, or replacing it with several homes. They sought our advice on the most profitable option. After analysing the plot from architectural and planning perspectives, we concluded that building three houses was feasible. But could we get the council to agree?
Our approach began with a thorough analysis of the site’s potential, balancing the architectural possibilities with local planning regulations. We considered the unique shape of the plot and its relationship to the curving road front and sloping terrain. Ultimately, we aimed to design a solution that made efficient use of the space while aligning with the neighbourhood's character.
Our application was approved and we successfully transformed the inefficient bungalow site into space for three homes, embracing the fan-shaped plot. Our design featured three houses facing the street with tapering gardens behind, one of which was substantially larger to maximise the site’s potential. This approach provided homes for up to 12 people and added to London’s housing supply while creating a fantastic financial return for the client.
