A-Frame house in Hampton completed

Our project for an A-Frame house in Hampton is finally completed. It was a challenging project due to the relationship between the new steel structure and the existing house, but we and the clients are very happy with the final result.

a-frame-extension.jpg

Our project for an A-frame extension to a 1930’s semi-detached house in Hampton was completed in late 2019.

During our last site visit we were very impressed by the dramatic internal volume created by the vaulted pitched roof extension and the impressive daylight intake from the gable windows, bifold doors and skylights located in both the pitched portion of the roof and the flat one.

This project presented its challenges on many levels, the first one related to planning and the second one was purely structural.

We discussed about the challenges that we encountered during the planning phase here.

From a structural perspective the project involved interconnecting the original 1930’s masonry structure of the house to the steel structure of the pitched roof extension, while at the same time opening the original rear wall of the property and the non-original rear wall of an existing flat roofed extension.

From our perspective the design of the steel beams that we received from the structural engineer had to be fully integrated within our drawings that had to consider other technical details such as insulation waterproofing etc...

In order to understand precisely how the structure would relate to any other architectural element, we used 3D models and analysed the various interconnections and this helped tremendously in informing our technical details and communicating our design intent to both the client and the contractor.

The result was well worth the effort and we are delighted to have received a very enthusiastic review from the client that can be seen on the project page by clicking here. We would like to thank all the parties involved in the project, but especially the client and the contractor for their effort into achieving this impressive internal space!

Project schedule #2 Home extension in East Sheen

 
east-sheen-extension-kitchen-03.jpg

Project Schedule

Year: 2017-2018

Location: East Sheen, London Borough of Richmond upon Thames

RIBA Design Stages: 0-5

Architect: Square One Architects

Structural Engineer: Glencross & Hudson

Building Control: Building Control Approval

The client for this project, a family of 5 with 3 small children, came to us in 2017 with a very specific brief. They had obtained planning permission using another architectural firm; however, they were not happy with the overall design.

The original project included a side extension, a rear extension and a first-floor infill extension. Despite getting planning approval for a significant additional square footage, the client was not very happy with the overall design and felt that not enough time and care had been spent in the  initial design phases (concept and schematic design) in order to agree a plan.

In this instance our first goal was to optimize the existing plan. Since the very beginning it became obvious that we would have had to go back to the planners with an amendment to the original planning application. The new plans were thoroughly discussed with the client until the layout was totally agreed.

Revised drawings were then submitted and subsequently agreed with the council. The side extension included a bedroom with a small living space and an en-suite bathroom to be used as a granny annexe for the clients’ aging parents.

The rear extension included an open plan kitchen, dining area and living space for the family.

The first-floor infill extension included a new large family bathroom (the original property was curiously lacking a shared bathroom and featured only two en-suite bathrooms).

The client also asked us to design a loft extension for the property an include a bedroom with an additional en-suite bathroom to be used by their au-pair.

The original four-bedroom house was turned into a generous 6-bedroom property with a well-proportioned family bathroom, three en suite bathrooms and plenty of open plan space to be shared with the client’s growing family. We were thoroughly pleased with the results and received a very positive feedback from the client.

Project schedule

Year: 2017-2019

Location: Hampton Hill, London Borough of Richmond upon Thames

RIBA Design Stages: 0-5

Architect:

Square One Architects

Structural Engineer:

Glencross & Hudson

Building Control:

Building Control Approval

The client for this project approached us in 2017 with an initial briefing that included a ground floor side return extension, alterations to the existing stair and several internal alterations to the ground and the first-floor layout.

The existing property was a typical two ups two downs terraced house in Hampton Hill. The property dated back to the late XIX century and in need of renovation. During the initial phases of the design we agreed with the client to turn the original stair by 90 degrees in order to provide a more rational layout. The initial project also included a ground floor side-return extension to form a new living and dining area to the rear and large bi-folding doors.

After obtaining planning approval for these alterations the clients’ plans changed due to their personal circumstances and they decided to add a loft extension to the project.

Sudden changes in the initial brief are not unusual and we as are always happy to accommodate any additional requirement with flexibility.

The brief for the loft extension included two new bedrooms and the family bathroom with one of the bedrooms to be used as a study or guest bedroom.

A new planning approval was obtained for the loft extension and subsequently detailed drawings were produced for both tender and construction purposes.

The refurbishment was carried out within the clients’ budget with no delays, thanks to the professionalism of the contractor, but also to the clarity of our drawings and instructions.

The result is a 4-bedroom house with 2 family bathrooms and well laid out distribution spaces that benefit from additional daylight created by a skylight that was been placed on top of the new stair.

This full house refurbishment has been a great success and we are very happy that the clients, a family of two are now enjoying their extended property.

Loft extension in Hampton given planning approval

We recently received planning approval for a large loft extension to a detached house in a Conservation Area. These projects are always challenging due to planning constraints, but working in close collaboration with the Council can lead to a very positive outcome. We are now very excited to start the Detail Design phase, more images will follow soon!

hampton-loft-extension.jpg

The project is for a very large loft extension within a Conservation Area and as it always happens in these cases we had to go through several steps before receiving the formal approval.

The first one was to discuss the project with our clients and agree the overall design of the extension. Following this we sent the drawings to the Council to receive pre-planning application advice.

In this circumstance the pre-planning application proved to be extremely useful. We were able to engage in a very constructive conversation with the council and agree a design that would satisfy all the parties involved.

Our initial proposal was for a very modern looking loft extension including metal cladding and large doors and windows. The project also involved raising the ridge and the eaves of the existing roof.

Given the conservation status of the area we were not surprised when we received the first feedback from the council that suggested to use a more traditional language externally. We amended the proposals to include a mansard roof and smaller traditional looking dormers facing the rear of the property. We also included several roof lights that would not be visible from the street.

In the grand scheme of things this worked very well for us because we essentially achieved the same amount of space that we initially proposed. The daylight intake that we lost by reducing the size of doors and windows to the rear was regained by using skylights placed in strategic positions.

The result will be a gorgeous open space that will take advantage of a significant head height that matches the first floor of the property and very adequate daylight intake.

We can wait to see the project build and we'll update the blog in due course

Introducing the project schedules

Our client for a house extension in Twickenham recently stressed the importance of showing before and after images to highlight the impressive difference between the existing building and the extended and refurbished one. Their existing house presented some significant issues with internal steps and changes of ceiling level (a consequence of many subsequent extensions carried out in the past) and our project resolved all this issue providing at the same time an additions room.

For most projects it is important to show where you started, in order to explain in more detail the reasons behind the initial brief from the client and the subsequent decisions.

As a practice we work in a bespoke fashion for all the projects we undertake, and we place attention on the clients’ initial brief.

This gave us the idea of preparing a "project schedule" section within our blog with some key project information.

The schedules are also an opportunity to discuss the projects in a more informal way highlighting the challenges that we encountered while designing our extensions or refurbishments, but also discussing the client’s feedback and our experience working with all the other actors involved in the construction process in particular contractors, structural engineers, party wall surveyors, building control etc...

We will also discuss some planning matters, for projects that were in Conservation Areas that naturally present additional challenges.

In this sense the schedules complement the information that is already available in our projects page.

The first seven schedules are now live on our website, please click on the links below:

Schedule #1: Full house refurbishment in Hampton Hill

Schedule #2: Home extension in East Sheen

Schedule #3: Rear extension in Teddington

Schedule #4: House extension in Barnes

Schedule #5: House extension in Byfleet and New Haw

Schedule #6: Rear extension in Hampton Hill

Schedule #7 Rear extension in Hampton

Work in progress: House extension in Kingston

Another view of the preliminary design for a ground floor rear extension to a semi-detached house in Kingston. The intent is to integrate the existing window and chimney breast with the new kitchen, creating a low window seat that can be enjoyed by the family.

extension-kingston-open-space.jpg

In this view we tried to highlight the relationship between the kitchen area to the left and the open plan dining space to the right. The seamless ceiling transition helps to make these two spaces feel connected and cohesive from a design perspective.

The same floor will be used for both the existing floor plan and the new extension, leaving the two structural piers as the only demarcation between the original rear of the house and the extended portion.

An interesting feature of the existing house is the presence of a side window that is our intention to turn into a window seat that will feel like an extension of the kitchen itself.

Window seats are a fun feature that help creating some interesting corners that can relate to other elements of the room, in this specific case the kitchen island and breakfast bar right in front of it.

The kitchen, island, window seat and the extension’s window and skylights will all contribute to create an interesting space to be lived by our clients.

Daylight and luminance analysis for an extension in Kingston

We regularly use analysis tools to predict the amount of daylight received in a space as a function of the openings size, location and moment of the year. In this view we are showing the predicted Luminance on the 21st of March at 12.00 for our new ground floor extension in Kingston.

Daylight+analysis_Page_2 (1).jpg

Daylight analysis tools offer to foresee the exact amount of daylight received by a determined space in several moments of the year. These tools are always very helpful in general, but they play a crucial role in our designs. By scrolling through our project images it is easy to see that daylight intake is a common thread, we are convinced that daylight within a household plays an huge factor in the health and well being of its inhabitants and we feel a duty as Architect to try and optimize this factor in all our projects.

In the case of this project for a rear extension in Kingston, we analysed the daylight intake with a configuration of a sliding door at the right, a generous window at the left and three skylights placed in the middle of the rear extension’s ceiling. With this type of diagram, it is very easy to see that the daylight will be very evenly distributed throughout the floor plan without being overwhelming (refer to the area in green).

Lighting design is a complex discipline, but we try to explain these metrics and parameters to the clients in a very straightforward way so they can understand the rational behind the dimension of the openings in their extensions.

These tools have become an essential part of our work at any stages of the design, especially at preliminary stages prior to submitting a planning application. We look forward to seeing this project finished and show this point with the final pictures.

Work in progress: Rear extension in Kingston

Another image of our new project for a rear extension in Kingston featuring an open space kitchen/living/dining

INTERNAL VIEWS3.jpg

This image highlights a very important design feature that is often overlooked, the seamless ceiling transition between the existing house and the new extension.

From a design perspective this is an ideal solution when we are dealing with flat ceilings with an identical head height. The lack of any beam or bulkhead separating the spaces creates the feeling of a cohesive space with one unobstructed ceiling. The other major advantage of this type of solution is that daylight coming from the skylights in the new extension does not get blocked by any obstructions at ceiling level. This guarantees optimal daylight distribution within the floor plan.

There are some structural implications with this type of solution that need to be assessed by qualified engineers and architects and discussed with he builder, however the end result is always wotlrth the effort. In the case of this project in Kingston the open plan will feel bright and spacious with a cohesive design that will give the impression of a very natural space that was always meant to be there.

We can’t wait to see this project finished and show how effective this solution can be through the final pictures. In the meantime you can see another project for a rear extension where a similar solution was adopted by clicking here.

Work in progress: House extension in Kingston

First image of our new project for a rear extension in Kingston

kingston-extension-internal-view-01.jpg

Square One Architects have been appointed to redesign the rear extension of a large XIX century semi-detached house in Kingston.

The property in question was extended in 2003 by the previous owners however the clients were not happy with the overall design.

Their main complaint regarded the amount of daylight that they received within the ground floor of the property and the connection between the extension and the rest of the house. In fact, the existing extension was separated from the original rear of the property by a thick wall with two small openings causing the original rooms facing the back garden to be extremely dark.

This is very typical situation. Extending traditional properties without any consideration given to daylight intake always carries the potential risk of creating spaces that feel dark and separated.

The clients’ brief included the removal of the non-original extension and replacement with a new one that would allow a generous amount of daylight throughout the ground floor of the property. They also wanted to carry out some internal alterations that would allow to have a seamless connection between the existing spaces and the new extended section of the house.

The project also included moving the existing kitchen to the new open plan area, using the original kitchen space as a playroom.

As a practice we felt that we were the perfect match for this type of project given our expertise in residential design with a focus on the south west of London and our specialist expertise in lighting design.

The layout shown in the drawing above exemplifies our ideas for this project where the internal space formed by the existing house and the new extension feel like one.

A set of sliding doors, two large roof lights and a spectacular l-shaped window to the opposite corner will allow for daylight to be distributed throughout the floor plan.

house-extension-byfleet-new-haw-front.jpg

The pictures above show the dramatic difference between the existing detached house in Byfleet and New Haw before and after the extension and refurbishment works.

When we first met the client in 2018, we found a property with lots of potential but very tired both externally and internally. The house needed a full refurbishment and several improvements were also necessary in order to maximize the use of internal spaces.

In the picture to the right our first-floor side extension can be seen to the left. The purpose of this extension was to add a new dressing area and en-suite bathroom with a window on the front of the house. Both the dressing room and en-suite have been designed to be directly connected to an existing bedroom that the clients decided to use as their master bedroom.

The project also included new rendering to the front, sides and rear of the property and the ground floor rear extension along with several internal alterations to create an open plan space at ground floor level.

It was a remarkably interesting project, with a proactive client who put a lot of stress on the importance of design.

We are incredibly happy with the result and final pictures of the standard property can be seen here.

When we went to site we also filmed a video showing the ground floor of the property. It can be visualized here.

Work in progress: Daylight analysis for one of our projects in Hampton

We usually determine the final dimension of doors and skylights using daylight analysis tools. These tools play a crucial role in our design process, allowing us to carefully assess and optimize the luminance levels on specific dates. For one of our ongoing projects in Hampton, we recently conducted a thorough analysis and the images below refer to a daylight simulation on March 21st at 12.00.

When it comes to predicting daylight levels, at Square One Architects, we rely on two key metrics: daylight factor and luminance. These metrics provide us with valuable insights, each with its own advantages and limitations. The daylight factor offers a straightforward snapshot of the projected average daylight levels, while luminance provides a more intricate analysis, taking into account factors such as orientation, the day of the year, and the time of day. By carefully cross-referencing these results, we can effectively communicate to our clients the reasons behind our optimized design choices for doors, windows, and skylights, tailored to their unique project requirements.

This particular project involves both a ground floor extension and a loft extension, posing unique challenges when it comes to daylighting. When it comes to the ground floor extension, it is of utmost importance to consider the predicted level of daylight in relation to the orientation of the building and the size of the glazed surfaces. Thankfully, in this case, the rear extension faces north, granting us the opportunity to incorporate generous glazed surfaces while minimizing the risk of overheating during the warmer summer months.

Work in progress: rear and loft extension in Hampton

We want to show you a beautiful picture of our latest project in Hampton. It's an extension at the back and on the top floor of a house. The picture shows a modern and impressive design with a lot of attention to detail. In the picture, you can see a playroom, a dining area, and an open plan kitchen. The design makes the space flow smoothly, which is great for relaxing and socializing.

At Square One Architects, we take pride in being able to explain our design ideas clearly to our clients. We often use 3D modelling tools to help our clients understand and appreciate our designs. These tools allow our clients to experience their future homes in a virtual way. This advanced technique makes it easier for our clients to imagine their dream homes. With our expertise in 3D modelling, we make sure to include a lot of detail and make everything look realistic. This helps our clients form a strong connection with their imagined spaces.

3D modelling comes particularly handy following the planning stage when clients are expected to take important decisions on their projects, such as materials, kitchen design, lighting, and many more. Utilizing 3D modelling technology allows architects to present clients with a variety of options in quick succession, enabling them to visualize the different possibilities with ease and make well-informed decisions. The ability to present multiple designs efficiently not only saves time but also enhances collaboration between the architect and the client, ensuring that the final outcome meets the client's expectations and preferences. By harnessing the power of 3D modelling, architects can bring ideas to life, enabling clients to make informed choices and ultimately leading to the creation of stunning, functional spaces.

Planning approval for one of our projects in Hampton

We are excited to announce that we have received approval to redesign a semi-detached house in Hampton. The project includes making changes inside to improve how the space works and looks. We are also thrilled to add an extension on the back of the ground floor, giving our clients more room and a better connection to the outdoors. A new extension in the loft will also be added to create a cozy retreat.

The strategic north-facing orientation of the back of the house presents an ideal opportunity for us to capitalize on the abundant natural light, as we can confidently design and incorporate expansive glazed surfaces without worrying too much about the potential negative effects of overheating.

We are now entering an important part of the project - the detailed design phase. This is when the project takes its final shape and gets ready for construction. During this phase, we will work closely with our clients, helping them make decisions on things like materials, lighting, windows, and more. These decisions will be carefully included in the final design, so that it matches what the clients want. The detailed design phase is a big step towards making the project a reality.

We can't wait to start working on this amazing home for our clients in Hampton.

Loft extension in the Hampton Conservation Area: new video under construction

We recently visited our project for a loft extension in a Conservation Area. This video shows the transition between the new stair to landing to the new master bedroom and en-suite.

hampton-loft-extension.jpg

The client approached Square One Architects in 2018 with the specific brief for their three-bedroom semi-detached house in the Hampton Village Conservation Area.

The intention was to use the loft of their property as a new master bedroom with an en suite. The room would take advantage of some very interesting views to the rear towards the Hampton Water Works and unobstructed daylight.

Given the fact that the property was in a Conservation Area, we suggested the client to go through a pre-planning procedure in order to obtain an informal feedback from the Council.

This was very useful, and it helped inform a second iteration of the design that included a mansard roof and two smaller lead dormers that was deemed to be more in keeping with the existing property and the character of the Conservation Area in general.

The original stair of the property, connecting the ground floor and the first floor, was very steep and its head height was already quite limited. One of the challenges of this project was to design the new stair contacting the first floor and second floor without further compromising the already limited head height at first floor level. Thanks to a very precise 3D model we managed to foresee the exact dimensions of the new stair in relationship to the existing one and this helped tremendously our communication with building control and the stair’s supplier before and during construction stage.

This loft conversion video was taken around the end of the construction process. The room feels bright and spacious and take advantage of the generous amount of daylight from the two new windows to the rear and two large skylights installed at the front of the property. The new bathroom was installed within the eaves of the roof and it is naturally lit by one further skylight facing the front of the dwelling.

More images to follow soon.

Loft extension in Twickenham

We are currently working on an interesting project for a rather unusual loft extension. Instead of using their roof as a bedroom, the clients want to form a new sitting area with a set of large doors at the back and skylights for star gazing

extension-loft-twickenham-section.jpg

The project for this loft extension to a 1930’s semi-detached house in Twickenham started in March 2019.

The clients’ brief was rather unusual in the sense that they wanted to use the second floor of their extended property as a living space for their family rather than as a bedroom as it is often the case in these types of projects.

The client also requested a large skylight and doors facing the rear of the house for stargazing with their telescope.

Following an initial discussion and consultation, the client chose an option that involved converting a small bedroom at first floor level into a full height study area that also serves as a hallway for the new stair connecting first and second floor. This is a solution that we have used in other projects. The main advantage of this option is that only one door at first floor level is required, leaving the first-floor study/hallway and the second floor completely free from any partition.

At the top of this full height space it was decided to install two large skylights facing the front of the property. The orientation of the house, with its front facing the north, will allow to gain much daylight without any major risk of overheating.

The loft extension is facing south and in this part of the house it was agreed to install external doors with a juliet balcony and a large openable flat roof skylight.

Planning approval was obtained in early 2020 and we are now working on the Detail Design for this interesting and unique project.

We look forward to seeing this project build!

New photos of our project for a house extension in Teddington

Check out the new external photos of our project for a house extension in Teddington including the new external patio. Click here

We are really pleased with these Teddington house extension photos by Emanuelis Stasaitis.

He is always very good at getting the best shots out of our projects and I think these home extension photos prove the point.

This home extension in Teddington was designed between 2017 and 2018 for a young family of four with two children.

It was it was a great experience from our point of view because the clients proved to be informed and engaged from a design perspective at any stage.

The project involved the ground floor side and rear extension and complete remodeling of the floor plan.

The existing property was a typical 1930s semi-detached house with large garden at the rear. As it often happens the property had been extended in the past with a conservatory that used to be too hot in the summer and too cold in winter.

The initial client idea was to demolish the conservatory and carry out a rear extension however it soon became apparent that adding a side extension (to match the one in the neighboring property) would have provided a very useful amount of internal space for service rooms such as a guest WC a utility room and a small study.

The client had an interest into industrial architecture, and it was decided to keep one of the structural steel beams visible. In these cases, it is essential to use an intumescent paint for fire rating purposes. We agreed with the client to retain the beam that subdivides the dining area from the living space in order to create a feature.

The client also decided to supply Crittall style doors and windows that help define the character of the extension.

We have many home extension photos in our project page you can have a look by clicking here

You can also see the project schedule here.

Hopefully these photos will be able to inspire potential clients or provide some home extension ideas.

Render vs completed photo of our latest house extension in Byfleet & New Haw

It's always interesting to look back at the design and evaluate how the final product compares to the initial intent. In this image a photo realistic render (above) is compared to a final image of a kitchen space.

extension-byfleet-new-haw-before-after.jpg

It is always essential to keep track of the relationship between designed spaces and final build project in order to verify the validity of our vision and take note of what has been improved during construction or what could have been built differently.

In the case of this project for or a rear and side extension to detached house in Byfleet and New Haw we were pleased to see that our 3D model rendering (first image above) looks very similar to what the contractor delivered on site.

First and foremost, the size of the openings and the subsequent amount of daylight received by the internal spaces was correctly predicted by the virtual analysis carried out through the rendering engine. Second, the materials that the client had chosen where confirmed to be a good match for the type of space that we had designed.

This project proves once again that 3D modelling and rendering tools can provide an invaluable help to both the Architect and the client.

By using these tools, the Architect can convey an idea in a very straightforward manner and the client can understand it right away, taking the necessary decisions when requested by the Architect.

We feel that the best stage to provide this type of drawings to a client is detail design where decisions about materials and certain technical details need to be finalised. Although there is a benefit in producing preliminary 3D models at earlier stages of the design, we see little point in generating super realistic images without any decision being made by the client regarding large items such as finishes, kitchen etc…

House extension and refurbishment in Hampton Hill

We are excited to present our new project, a home expansion and renovation in Hampton Hill. We have a video that shows the design from start to finish, giving you a clear view of the transformation. Be on the lookout for more pictures that will showcase the skilled work and careful design that went into creating this space.

At ground floor level, our clients requested a side return extension to expand their living space. This involved the removal of an existing bathroom to make way for an open and inviting area that encompassed both a new kitchen and a dining area. Additionally, one of the main design challenges we tackled was the reorientation of the existing staircase by a 90-degree angle within the new kitchen/dining space.
Moving up to the first floor, we transformed one of the bedrooms into a generously proportioned bathroom. By removing an existing partition, we successfully fashioned a second spacious bedroom on this floor, maximizing the available space to meet the needs of the family.
Expanding further at the loft level, we introduced two brand-new bedrooms and a family bathroom. This addition not only complemented the existing layout but also provided our clients with an accommodating and versatile space for their growing household. We took great pleasure in designing this project specifically tailored for a young couple, and we have full confidence that the thoughtfully crafted spaces will cater perfectly to their evolving needs.

RIBA London directory

Our project for a house extension in East Sheen was featured in this year’s RIBA London Directory, this is the third project featured in three years!

royal-institute-british-architects-directory-2019.jpeg
IMG-20191113-WA0001.jpeg

Our project for a house extension in East Sheen was published on the RIBA London Directory of Chartered Practices 2019.

As usual we are very proud to see one of our designs being featured in this type of publication that showcases the best projects from all around London.

In this case we are particularly proud because the project in question is one of the larger schemes we have been developing in the last few years.

The project dates to 2017 and it includes a ground floor rear plus side extension, a first-floor infill extension and a loft extension. The project was completed in late 2018.

The existing house, a 1930`s detached dwelling in East Sheen, was significantly extended and enhanced thanks to our work.

This project represents another successful case study where the Architect, client and contractor managed to work together and deliver a product of exceptional quality.

The extended house feels incredibly bright and spacious and the existing rooms have been enhanced by adding new spaces such as an open plan kitchen and dining area, a more secluded living space towards the rear of the property, a first floor family bathroom and the new loft extension that includes a new bedroom and an en-suite. The project also includes a side extension that is used as a self-contained granny flat with a bedroom, en-suite bathroom and a small living space.

We received several requests to publish this project and we will keep this blog updated.

You can see the final pictures of the project here
