Full-Width Contemporary Rear Extension & Full Refurbishment — Conservation Area, Richmond upon Thames MTA won planning permission from Richmond Council to replace an unsightly polycarbonate rear extension with an elegant, full-width contemporary extension to a terraced house on Kew Road — one of Richmond's most coveted residential addresses within its conservation area. The new extension features slim-line folding sliding doors spanning the full width of the rear elevation, allowing the back of the house to open completely to the garden. The structural engineering is particularly considered — the extension structure extends beyond the terrace edge with a counterweight to manage beam deflection, which also functions as a rainwater downpipe. This detail allows the boundary between inside and outside to disappear entirely when the doors are open, creating dramatic, unobstructed garden views. A new flank window, also secured through planning negotiation, brings private views across the neighbouring gardens into the newly formed main bedroom. The whole house was refurbished — new bathrooms, kitchen, windows and heating system — completely transformed into a light, spacious series of spaces that fuse the original Victorian character with a confident contemporary addition.
