A family in Sidcup approached us for basement extension under garden on a 1930s semi-detached property. Constraints: respecting streetscape rhythm typical of Bexley, maintaining rear garden depth, and meeting Bexley Council's design expectations for the conservation context (16 conservation areas borough-wide).
Measured survey week 1. Three design iterations balancing internal layout against external massing visible from neighbours. Two scheme massings tested against Bexley Council's adopted design guidance. Chosen scheme matched existing roof pitch, used matching brick, set the new opening back from the eaves.
