The Camberwell House - Extension roof detail

This Victorian house is situated in a leafy part of London and had all the ingredients of a beautiful period home but was in need of modernisation. The owners were keen to bring it back to life and extend with a keen eye on the ‘vintage’ feel of found and restored finishes. The side of the closet wing was removed at ground floor level to form full width kitchen and dining spaces. The extension design resembles a glass house with the dining room sitting between the original building spaces and the new extension. By broadening the opening between the original house and a typical side infill extension, we were able to design an area for eating that is broader than in a traditional form of layout.
