Mansion Block Refurbishment with Terrace | Architects for Fulham | forrester architects

A fine mansion block flat conversion is the same as it was when it was purchased the early 2000’s. It’s time for a full refurbishment and there is the potential to provide a roof terrace accessed from the kitchen over the communal porch. With a couple of minor interventions there is an opportunity to improve the living environment of the mansion block refurbishment with terrace. The concept is based on the notion that the treatment of the core (bathroom and kitchen) will provide the basis of an architectural narrative for the refurbishment as a whole. With the potential to provide a private roof top terrace space there is great potential to enliven the aspect of the flat. A modest kitchen will be split to provide a galley configuration to allow easy access to the new terrace space.

Timber Framed Roof Terrace | Architects for Hackney | forrester architects

A new timber framed roof terrace will provide a new vibrant and functioning commercial venture to the rear of the existing warehouse building. There is a desire to introduce an external roof terrace space to allow fresh air and daylight into the large landlocked building. Securing a successful planning approval for the elaborate roof terrace structure and awning will provide the motivation to invest and reinstate new state of the art recording studios. This in return will foster increased local employment and sustain Arts, Cultural, and Entertainment facilities within the local area.

A south facing roof-space offers a perfect location and orientation for a roof terrace structure. To improve the overall visual appearance of the roofscape a sedum garden roof will extend along the length of the building. In addition, a series of beehives will be introduced which will contribute to a balance between nature and the continued light industrial use of the building.

A bank of solar panels will be introduced to contribute to the client’s responsive and sustainable environmental strategy which already involves the use of a newly installed Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP).

A newly acquired duplex loft apartment provides the setting for a new concert room loft in North London. An extensive refurbishment involves remodelling the entire space to provide a personal venue for concerts and recitals. The double height gabled roof-space will be enlivened by revealing the existing king post trusses which provide a striking architectural back-drop to the main room. A curved open treaded stair leads from the mezzanine bar area which overlooks the concert room. Beyond the mezzanine, there is of course a green room for the guest performers. A number of ancillary spaces provide for food preparation and an extensive wine cellar to entertain.
