Heaver Estate | SW17

Modern open-concept kitchen and living room with large windows, island with cooktop, dining area, and outdoor back garden view.

The property is within the Heaver Estate Conservation area and was built between 1890-1910. Earlier conservatories and extensions had been added to the property but the ground floor rooms still felt very disconnected from the garden. Our client’s priority was to open up the back of the house and create a dynamic family room with a seamless connection to the rear garden. Along with extensive internal refurbishment the existing extensions were removed and a contemporary ground floor extension with varying heights was introduced to allow maximum levels of natural light into the kitchen and main living space. Large sliding doors open up the rear of the house to the patio and garden and large roof lights and stepped ceilings play with the volume within the new space.

A new dormer study was introduced in the loft and the existing staircase was extended to the allow access to this new space. The details of the new staircase match the original to integrate the new room into the house as seamlessly as possible. Internal glass screens were introduced to internal walls on each floor along the staircase to bring natural light in and to create an open and light feeling. Original features like the cornice, mouldings and stained glass windows were retained, restored and matched throughout the house to preserve the original aesthetic while adding contemporary interior design to bring a modern touch to the 100 year-old house.
