This project was in two parts. Firstly the upper levels of the house which is a Protected Structure were completely repaired with new finishes and services. Secondly, at basement level the space was opened up to create a living area that opened out to the rear garden. To achieve this required reforming the rear garden outside the extension through a series of retaining walls. Bringing the garden down to connect the with kitchen living space.
In conjunction with the lowering of external space major structural works were required to open out the original basement walls bringing in daylight to the depth of the space.
