The brief

What the client needed

A family in Worcester Park approached us for wrap-around extension on a 1930s semi-detached property. Constraints: respecting streetscape rhythm typical of Sutton, maintaining rear garden depth, and meeting Sutton Council's design expectations for the conservation context (17 conservation areas borough-wide).

Design response

How we designed it

Measured survey week 1. Three design iterations balancing internal layout against external massing visible from neighbours. Two scheme massings tested against Sutton Council's adopted design guidance. Chosen scheme matched existing roof pitch, used matching brick, set the new opening back from the eaves.
