Jorges Salman Architects gained planning approval for the refurbishment and extension of a two storey detached property which has created opportunities to re-define the scale and impact of the host building within the street scene and to create a retrofit solution in lieu of a complete demolition and new build proposal. The site consumed the existing property and was deemed to be significantly disproportionate to the size of the existing building. Jorges Salman Architects redefined the form, aesthetic, landscaping, and orientation of the proposed additions so enable the new house to relate more coherently with its larger neighbouring properties, and that of others within the street scene.
