Richmond Wrap-Around Extension

A stunning architectural rear and side-return wrap-around extension of a Victorian terrace property, introducing a high-spec bespoke kitchen and floor-to-ceiling glass pivot doors.

This Richmond project reimagined the dark, cramped rear layout of a traditional Victorian family terrace. By extending both outward and into the side return, we created a massive, light-filled kitchen-diner and open-plan living hub. The centerpiece is a bespoke white marble kitchen island complemented by hand-crafted warm walnut cabinetry and state-of-the-art appliances. Expansive, ultra-slimline black sliding glass doors slide completely open to reveal a flush threshold leading directly into the landscaped English garden. Polished light concrete flooring spans the entire ground level, heated with low-energy water underfloor heating. High ceilings equipped with architectural slimline black skylights wash the space in brilliant natural light all day.

The Challenge

Integrating modern, expansive glass walls and matching modern load paths with a traditional, solid-brick Victorian facade under strict conservation area planning restrictions.

Our Solution

We worked closely with structural engineers to insert a concealed steel portal framework, redirecting the load of the upper floors without columns. By specifying custom-tinted UV-blocking glass frames and low-profile structural brick slips, we perfectly preserved the historic exterior while delivering a contemporary rear living space.
