Victoria Road is a rear extension and internal remodelling of a Victorian house in Birmingham. Studiogotz provided architectural services from briefing and concept design through planning permission, technical design and construction stage support. The project addressed a long, narrow plan by introducing greater width to the kitchen and living spaces while responding carefully to the 45-degree planning rule. Solid elements are built to the code line, with glazed volumes extending beyond to draw light deep into the house. Black cladding, exposed steel and Crittall-style screens establish a clear dialogue between retained Victorian fabric and contemporary intervention.
