A ground floor extension and loft conversion for a Victorian terraced property in the South Park Gardens of Wimbledon, London. The design intention was to respect the characteristics of the original Victorian house, whilst updating the property to provide contemporary open plan living space. The existing drawing room at the front of property was retained and made separate to the newly created living and dining area located in the new extension to the rear of the house. In order to match external appearance of the rear extension to existing house, London bricks were sourced from chimney breast with same age, and occasional 'blackened' effect from use in the fireplace.
