Hanwell House Extension
Project Brief
This house extension project in Hanwell, London, aimed to create a spacious and airy living area while preserving the property’s traditional charm. By lowering the floor level and incorporating modern design elements, we transformed the home into a functional space.
The renovation successfully blended traditional and contemporary styles, enhancing both aesthetics and usability.
Objectives
- Increase ceiling height to create a spacious, open living area.
- Incorporate modern design elements while maintaining the house’s traditional charm.
- Maximise natural light and improve the indoor-outdoor flow.
- Provide additional outdoor space for relaxation and socialising.
Challenges
- Lowering the floor level without compromising the structural integrity of the home.
- Blending traditional architectural elements with modern design features in a cohesive way.
- Maximising natural light while maintaining the property’s privacy.
Key Features of the Extension
- Pitched Roof and Critical Doors: The client opted for a pitched roof and the installation of large critical doors, which flood the living space with natural light. These doors not only enhance the brightness but also connect the indoor and outdoor areas seamlessly.
- Design Harmony: The extension beautifully blended the property's traditional style with modern elements, ensuring a cohesive look that complemented the original architecture.
- Lowered Floor Level: By lowering the floor level, we were able to increase the ceiling height, creating a more spacious and open interior. This change gave the home a grander feel and significantly improved the overall sense of space.
- Decking Area: A large decking area was added to the rear of the property, providing a relaxing outdoor space for family gatherings and leisure activities. This additional space extended the living area into the garden, offering more versatility and comfort.
Conclusion
This Hanwell house extension is a perfect example of how traditional architecture can be seamlessly combined with modern design to create a home that is both functional and beautiful.
The project not only improved the living environment but also added value to the property, making it a success for both the client and our team.
