A family in East Sheen approached us for rear dormer loft conversion on a edwardian villas property. Constraints: respecting streetscape rhythm typical of Richmond upon Thames, maintaining rear garden depth, and meeting Richmond Council's design expectations for the conservation context (72 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 Richmond Council's adopted design guidance. Chosen scheme matched existing roof pitch, used matching brick, set the new opening back from the eaves.
