A conversion and extension of a Victorian terrace house in Stoke Newington to replace an existing second-floor lean-to conservatory with dining room
The development included replacing an existing second-floor lean-to conservatory with an additional dining and entertaining space with framed views overlooking tree lined gardens and mews workshops to the rear of the property.
The slate clad timber structure extension includes a large frameless glass window seat that doubles up as bench seating for the dining table, built-in furniture and a concealed WC and utility room. The project opens spatial links without destroying the integrity of the Victorian room and creates different zones for family members to inhabit.
The project dramatically improved the property and added extra space, on a tight budget of £45,000.
