Townhouse Refurbishments and Innovative Rear Extensions

London townhouses often have generous proportions and strong architectural character, but their original layouts and construction can make them difficult to adapt to contemporary living. forresterarchitects works with these existing buildings to improve circulation, daylight, connections to the garden and energy performance, while retaining the qualities that make each house distinctive. Extensions, building conservation and internal reconfiguration are considered together rather than as a separate intervention.

Our Full House Refurbishment in Belsize Park demonstrates how an existing townhouse can be comprehensively remodelled while retaining its period character. In Stoke Newington, the London Roof Extension transforms the typical terrace house by flipping the floor-plan to provide the dining room to the front bay with the lounge overlooking the garden to the rear with the kitchen connecting them in the middle.
