Completed 2016

The transformation and extension of a Victorian terrace house in a lovely part of Balham, which had not been updated since the 1970s. The challenge of this project was an accelerated programme to allow the soon to-be-parents to move in as soon as possible. The ground floor extension and refurbishment create an open-plan kitchen and dining room to the rear and side, whilst providing a spacious utility room and cloakroom that is easily accessible from the kitchen.

On the first and second floor, en-suite bathooms were positioned so as to preservce the proportions and integrity of the bedrooms. The kitchen cabinetry was a collaborative effort between the carpenter, Joe Chambers, the Contractor and CW2 Architects to create a bespoke design that is highly functional and beautiful.

Jean and Shan were really good at tailoring the design to our needs especially as we’d have a little one by the time the build was finished. We often look around and can’t believe we live here.
