Project Description: Traditional Home with Contemporary Glazed Rear Extension, New Eltham, Greenwich, London Location: New Eltham, Greenwich, London Project Overview: This project involved transforming an existing traditional home in New Eltham by incorporating a contemporary, fully structural glazed rear extension. The design integrates modern architectural elements with the classic character of the original building, creating a bright and functional space that enhances natural light. With planning approval secured and detailed building regulations drawings produced, a design and build approach was implemented for the construction works, ensuring regulatory compliance and design excellence. Scope of Work: Planning Approval & Building Regulations Compliance: Secured planning permission and developed comprehensive building regulations drawings to support a streamlined design and build process. Contemporary Glazed Rear Extension: Designed and engineered a fully structural extension featuring extensive glazing to maximize natural light and provide a modern contrast to the traditional façade. Architectural Integration: Crafted a design that seamlessly blends modern living with the existing traditional character, achieving a balanced juxtaposition of old and new. Design and Build Approach: Provided detailed construction documentation and technical specifications to facilitate an efficient design and build process. Project Coordination: Collaborated closely with all stakeholders to ensure the extension met modern standards while enhancing the overall functionality and aesthetics of the home. Outcome: The completed project successfully fuses traditional architecture with contemporary design. The fully glazed rear extension transforms the rear of the property into a bright, inviting space that enhances everyday living and maintains a harmonious connection with the original structure.
