House Refurbishment, 2013
Court Lane, Dulwich
A rear extension to a semi-detached house in Court Lane, Dulwich. The extension provides a new kitchen, dining, and living area. A simple brick extension with glazed screens to the garden and a roof window providing daylight to the kitchen.
The insertion of a new steel frame allowed existing loadbearing walls to be removed and the space extended to create a new large open-plan space filling the side-return. Large glazed screens were installed creating a fully glazed aspect to the garden. The area outside was excavated to create a new terrace area. A new concrete floor was laid throughout complete with underfloor heating – it is finished in porcelain tiles. A sloping glass rooflight allows light to fall across the cooking area. A simple white kitchen was installed complete with Corian countertops.
