Project Description:
In October 2021, a comprehensive renovation was completed on a semi-detached house in South West London. The project encompassed a full-scale transformation to enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the property.
Key Aspects of the Renovation:
- Demolition and Strip-Out: The initial phase involved the careful demolition and removal of existing structures to prepare the property for the planned extensions and internal modifications.
- Rear Extension: A significant aspect of the renovation was the construction of a rear extension. This approach is particularly effective in semi-detached houses, as it utilises the available space to expand the kitchen or living areas without encroaching on the garden. Such extensions are popular in London due to their ability to create spacious, open-plan living areas.
- Loft Conversion: The project also included a loft conversion, adding valuable living space to the property. Loft conversions are a cost-effective alternative to ground-floor extensions and can significantly enhance the functionality of a home.
- Electrical and Plumbing Systems: Comprehensive updates to the property’s electrical and plumbing systems were undertaken to meet modern standards and ensure safety and efficiency.
- Bathroom Renovations: The existing bathrooms were renovated with contemporary designs and high-quality fixtures to improve comfort and usability.
- Internal Finishes and Decorations: The final phase involved applying internal finishes and decorations, meticulously selected to reflect the property’s character while incorporating modern aesthetics.
- Kitchen Installation: A new, modern kitchen was installed, enhancing the functionality and appeal of the home.
Outcome:
The renovation successfully transformed the semi-detached house into a modern, spacious, and functional home, blending contemporary design elements with the property’s traditional charm. The collaborative efforts of the construction team and the private architect ensured that the project was completed to the highest standards, resulting in a residence that meets the demands of modern living while retaining its unique character.
This project exemplifies how thoughtful design and quality construction can significantly enhance the value and liveability of semi-detached homes in South West London.
