Staines Road, Twickenham

The brief in this semi-detached property in Twickenham was for a ground floor kitchen extension and a loft conversion. This gave an opprotunity to treat the rear elevation as a whole rather than the disjointed effect achieved when lofts are carried out by a separate company with the standard tiled dormers. 

The sloping extension was inspired by a practical need to keep the height of the building low on the side with the adjoining property. The glazed walls and roof give the effect of a glass box inserted into the extension, bringing light into the heart of the main living space.
