Dunmore Road, Wimbledon

The transformation of a tired Victorian semi-detached house into a contemporary family home. 

At ground floor, an extension to the rear and the side created the space for a new kitchen, WC, utility room and larder. Clear distinction was made between the retained Victorian front of the house, and the new modern rear of the property.

The ground floor level was dropped and a full width minimal glazing solution across the rear created a smooth connection with the garden. Large roof lights maximise light to the kitchen and living areas, and to allow natural light to flood into the house.

On the first floor, the layout was changed to allow for a family bathroom and four bedroom. A full redecoration added some extra special finishing touches.

In the loft space a linked dormer was added to create more space for a master suite. The eaves were used for extra storage and an en-suite bathroom, with Velux windows positioned to allow light into the main staircase.
