Extension architecture

We were commissioned by our clients to transform an outdated Flemish 3-fronted house with traditional rear extension into a contemporary home with plenty of light. The new home had to feel especially spacious and, above all, take advantage of the view to the green area behind.  Ypsilon Business Photography Ypsilon Business Photography In the design, we kept the main house and replaced the rear extension.

Set over four split floor levels, this newly transformed north London home is an outstanding example of how to remodel and create high quality spaces within a typical semi-detached house.
