Devonshire Road – London / United Kingdom
This project is about a rear extension as well as a side return of a house in Forest Hill, London.
There are two staircases in the house entrance, one leading you to the lower groundfloor and the other to the upper groundfloor. The family wanted an extension to both levels so that they could cover their needs.
We created a double-storey volume that added extra space to both lower and upper groundfloor. The one on the lower level serves as a dining area and has direct access to the rear garden via a stone patio. The space on the upper level serves as an additional bedroom that has direct view to the rear garden as well. The side return leaves room for the new kitchen. The materials we used are brick for the walls and zinc for the extension roof.

This project refers to the design of a ground floor private residence with surrounding fencing, in the farm area of Epanomi (municipality of Thermaikos) which has a total area of 11557.50 sq.m. The ground floor house has been designed and developed based on the topographical details of the area . The building has visual engravings on the southwest, its entrance is located on the northeast and evolves around a outdoor living room. More specifically, the exterior seating area consists of a semi-outdoor area with a pergola, which includes the entrance to the house.
The main living spaces are located in the northwest part of the property. There is the kitchen with the dining room and the living room, as well as two bedrooms and a laundry space. To the southeast there are three guest bedrooms, one with a private bathroom and two with a shared one.
The external staircase located on the main patio leads to an outdoor seating area, which is designed on the roof, with a pergola. On the exterior space of the building one more pergola creates a shading system that serves the outdoor parking space. The outdoor space also hosts a hot tub, in connection to the master bedroom.
The central and connecting element of the composition is the atrium, from which there is access to the all the interior spaces. The design offers privacy where it is needed with large openings to the surrounding view.
