forresterarchitects have provided a full architectural service for an art deco refurbishment with a new rear extension in North London. The house needed a new lease of life. With a growing family, a better connection between the kitchen and large rear garden was desirable. The original kitchen was small for a house of this size and an inventive solution was needed. A kitchen courtyard space was introduced. To the rear garden a new visual connection between the landscaped garden and the configured kitchen, dining room and lounge room. A series of new steps provide easy access up to the landscaped garden.

With the on-going works but it was considered necessary to increase the scope of works. More works were added which involved the complete refurbishment of all bedrooms and bathrooms. One of the bedrooms was utilised for an en-suite to the master bedroom. The ensuite was large and provided ample space for a twin shower. For the client, no bath was necessary, as it wouldn’t be used. That said the plumbing was installed as part of the works for when the time comes when a bath is a more desirable option. The final touch to the art deco refurbishment was a new rendered facade and roof presenting a revitalised building frontage to the street.
