Project Overview:
The property consists of a pair of semi-detached houses located on Barry Road, between Peckham Rye & East Dulwich.
Having first been appointed on the full refurbishment, extension & upgrade of number 262, the neighbouring (dilapidated) property at 264 came onto the market, and the client's sister and family were able to purchase the property. At this point our appointment was extended to provide the coordinated development of both properties.
Given the original quality and stature of the pair of houses, it was agreed that the refurbishment had to be true to the original character of the building. We then designed the rear and dormer extensions to be high quality contemporary additions, that were respectful of, and also referenced, the building's original character and design.
In addition to the external refurbishment and extensions, an extensive internal rebuilding and upgrading exercise was required. The original workmanship and structural strategy employed had meant that the condition of the existing structure was unsound and extensive structural upgrades were required. Extensive damage from long term damp was also present, ultimately requiring the re-building and finishing of all internal floors, walls, windows, roofs and services.
With the strategy of the internal and external refurbishment and extensions agreed, and with planning permission approved, we then had scope to tailor the internal arrangements, fixtures and finishes to each family's specific needs and tastes.
