A four storey terraced house in a Conservation Area, the project added a basement under the existing building combined with a rear extension and reconstructed two storey outrigger and terrace. The extension at ground floor incorporates a large pivot door and decorative balustrade to the terrace above and is finished in a very specific Highland Ford Green, to reflect the clients love of classic cars. The character of the house very much comes from the desire to use salvage and required a lot of design consideration to ensure there was uniformity across the scheme. The stripped back Crittall doors give a strong industrial character which sits nicely against the finer Victorian detailing. We kept the industrial look as the unifying feature and designed the new staircase to tie into the extensive use of Crittall, using thin metal strips for the balustrading. The house was dramatically reconfigured on three levels, with a new staircase housed in the double height outrigger. This leads to an open plan kitchen, dining, living space at lower ground floor with a large pivot door opening onto the garden. From here the stairs carry on into a new basement, adding substantially to the living space of the house. The stairs form a focal point of the house, linking the basement to the lower ground floor and also providing a means of getting light into the space. They are constructed in steel with open oak treads and a balustrade formed of reeded glass, which lends the staircase a sculptural quality. The project had a strong focus on using reclaimed materials wherever possible to reduce the environmental impact of the project. This was a challenge for the architect, contractor and Building Control and involved a great deal of team work and adaptability to achieve the best results. The basement adds substantial living space to the house in a location where the possibilities for lightwells are quite limited by Conservation Area status. The design utilises the vertical circulation as a means of pulling light and views through the house, along with extensive glazed partitions to create a basement which feels as light and usable as the rest of the house. All of the mechanical compontents and utility spaces are housed in the basement, which helped declutter the upper parts of the house. In the open plan living room we installed a floating concrete bench and a second staircase which leads to the basement, framed in the same balustrade detail as the main staircase. A handrail is recessed into the wall with a light to form a contemporary addition to the Victorian house. We utilised natural ventilation as far as possible, the house has good cross ventilation which we kept by keeping the layout open plan. In the basement fresh air is brought in via an MVHR unit from the back of the house and expelled on the road side but we also designed in as much natural ventilation as possible. A small lightwell at the rear provides opportunities for sliding doors and the double height space of the stairs provides light and air to the playroom from the spaces above. The basement houses a playroom, bedroom, music room, shower room and utility room, as well as the two staircases. The Poggenpohl kitchen was bought from a specialist used kitchen reseller and reconfigured to suit the layout of the project. The parquet flooring, light fittings, Crittall doors and partitions, some sanitaryware, garden paving, ironmongery, brickwork, garage doors and light switches were all reclaimed and repurposed. The architectural approach to the extension was to create a subtle addition which blends well with the existing terrace of houses, despite the project being quite substantial in size.

A foliage wallpaper was chosen to add a bit of fun to the playroom media room. The uninteresting small hallway was painted in a dark green shade by Little Greene paint company.

BASEMENT CINEMA, POOL ROOM AND WINE BAR IN WEST LONDON We created this generous space in the basement of a detached family home. Our clients were keen to have a private area for chilling out, watching films and most importantly, throwing parties! The palette of colours we chose here calmly envelop you as you relax. Then later when the party is in full swing, and the lights are up, the colours take on a more vibrant quality. MOOD LIGHTING, ATMOSPHERE AND DRAMA Mood lighting plays an important role in this basement. The two natural light sources are a walk-on glass floor in the room above, and the open staircase leading up to it. Apart from that, this was a dark space which gave us the perfect opportunity to do something really dramatic with the lighting. Most of the lights are on separate circuits, giving plenty of options in terms of mood scenes. The pool table is overhung by three brass and amber glass pendants, which we commissioned from one of our trade suppliers. Our beautifully curated artwork is tastefully lit with downlights and picture lights. LEDs give a warm glow around the perimeters of the media unit, wine rack and bar top. CONTEMPORARY PRIVATE MEMBERS CLUB FEEL The traditional 8-foot American pool table was made bespoke in our selection of finishes. As always, we made sure there was a full cue’s length all the way around the playing area. We designed the bar and wine rack to be custom made for this project. The natural patina of the brass worktop shows every mark and stain, which might sound impractical but in reality looks quirky and timeless. The bespoke bar cabinetry was finished in a chestnut brown lacquer spray paint. On this project we delivered our full interior design service, which includes concept design visuals, a rigorous technical design package and a full project coordination and installation service.
