Proposal
The works proposed seek to sympathetically refurbish and extend the existing two-storey semi-detached dwelling to meet the needs of new residents. The approach to design balances heritage considerations with modern living standards and sustainability objectives. The project is being developed in collaboration with Grenfell Housing Services to rehome a family of five. As detailed within the various drawings and supporting documents prepared for this application, key elements of the proposal include the following: - A single-storey ground floor extension to the rear and side elevations, incorporating rooflights to enhance natural daylight. - Rationalisation of internal layouts to improve spatial efficiency and usability for family life. - Upgrading thermal performance through triple-glazed windows and rooflights, with detailing and materials to match the original character. - Sustainability measures, including photovoltaic panels and an air source heat pump to improve the energy efficiency of the property. - Thorough materiality and massing assessments aimed at complementing the building and preserving the protected character of the wider conservation area. - A discreet outbuilding to the rear of the property to house a study space to support the family's needs.
