The brief

What the client needed

A family in Hammersmith approached us for planning + building regs full package on a victorian terraces property. Constraints: respecting streetscape rhythm typical of Hammersmith and Fulham, maintaining rear garden depth, and meeting Hammersmith & Fulham Council's design expectations for the conservation context (45 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 Hammersmith & Fulham Council's adopted design guidance. Chosen scheme matched existing roof pitch, used matching brick, set the new opening back from the eaves.
