Rear kitchen extension

Project description | Lewisham SE13 rear kitchen extension

Rear storey extension, garage conversion and internal alterations to a single family dwelling

Architectural services

Initial home consultation, measured survey and production of existing set of drawings, planning stage design and submission, Building Regulations design and submission, obtaining local authority approvals and redesign of kitchen area.

Project summary

Single storey rear kitchen extension that mirrored the adjacent existing extension along the boundary line. We aimed to create an enlarged kitchen, dining and living area that opened up to the rear garden through full height aluminium framed double glazed sliding folding doors, corner glazing, and additional rooflight glazing to bring natural light deeper in the kitchen and dining spaces. As part of our proposals we also converted the existing garage to create a new guest bedroom. Refurbishment and internal first floor alterations.

Design matters

70s retro + contemporary feel, fresh, clean, light and in dialogue with the character of the existing property in terms of scale, materials and textures. Rear extension that opens up to the rear garden in a non-linear way and in a way that allows the landscaping to become part of the internal kitchen and dining areas.
Flooring: Coloured rubber flooring. Key advantages – cost effective, warm and soft underfoot, long-lasting, easy to clean as it does not require special cleaning, also consider this type of flooring if you are an allergy sufferer, since it is very hygienic.

Budget and project costs

In the region of £100K to include construction and design, approval costs. At the moment costs are much higher due to shortages of labour and materials still. For a project of this type you should typically be budgeting the following as minimum to include supply and installation of standard glazing, standard white electrical fittings. Extensions (approx): £2,500 per sqm. Loft conversion (approx): £1,750 per sqm. Refurbishments (approx): £700 per sqm. Paving (includes supply of sub base and concrete slab, prep works and installation of client supplied pavers) approx : £115 per sqm.

This project was published in Build It magazine in February 2023, Kitchen Diner Extension Ideas by Lucy Keech.

“Want to add extra space and value to your home? A multifunctional extension could be the best way to do it, says Lucy Keech.

The main advantage of a kitchen-diner extension is to maximise the space, whether that’s for day-to-day living or for a multi-purpose area for entertaining and enjoying family time. It will encourage a better connection between the interior and the exterior too. What’s more, it will add value to your home – atypical kitchen-diner can boost sale price by up to 10%.” Read more…

Feasibility study for 5 flats and a garden dwelling in Lewisham

by George Omalianakis

Feasibility Study for 5 flats and a garden dwelling in Lewisham

The project at a glance

Project type

New build flats feasibility study Lewisham | Small residential development | Site intensification

Location

Westdown Road, Lewisham, London

Brief

Feasibility study for the demolition of an unsafe existing house and redevelopment of the site to create a replacement residential building containing flats, together with a separate self-contained dwelling within the rear garden.

Development potential tested

A replacement main building with 5 flats, together with a single-storey 2-bedroom garden dwelling, creating 6 residential units in total and 5 additional homes beyond the original single dwelling.

Architectural services provided

Feasibility study, pre-application design proposals, planning submission and Building Regulations considerations, and preparation of proposals to request pre-application advice from Lewisham Council.

Feasibility study for a structurally failed house on a planning-sensitive deep plot

GOAStudio was appointed to test a replacement development strategy for a structurally failed Victorian house on a deep residential plot in Lewisham.

The study considered whether the site could support a new main building with flats together with a separate rear garden dwelling, while maintaining a credible planning position on a site affected by a non-designated heritage issue.

The existing house was in a severe state of disrepair and structurally unfeasible to repair.

The rear garden extended to approximately 30 metres, creating scope for a more intensive site strategy than a straightforward replacement dwelling.

Site context

The site is on the southern side of Westdown Road and includes a front garden and a rear garden of approximately 30 metres in depth. It sits within a predominantly residential area and is within walking distance of Catford and Catford Bridge stations. The site is not in a conservation area, is not listed, and is not adjacent to a listed building.

The planning position was relatively open in those respects, but the site was still sensitive.

The existing house was considered to have architectural merit and was treated as a non-designated heritage asset. Any redevelopment strategy therefore had to address not only density and layout, but also the planning case for demolition and replacement.

Existing condition

The existing building was an attractive Victorian house, but one in a severe state of disrepair. The brief records major structural failure arising from long-term subsidence caused by clay soil movement.

Vegetation had grown into the building fabric, including the roof, resulting in further damage to walls, floors and roof areas. The house was considered unsafe for occupation and structurally unfeasible to repair or retrofit.

That condition was central to the feasibility position. The redevelopment case depended on demonstrating that the site could not reasonably be taken forward through retention and upgrade, and that replacement development was the more realistic route.

Development brief

The brief for this new build flats feasibility study Lewisham was to test how far the site could be taken as a small residential development and whether the rear portion of the plot could support an additional dwelling alongside a replacement main building.

The main points under review were:
• replacement of the unsafe existing house
• intensification of the site through a new main building containing flats
• a separate self-contained dwelling within the rear garden
• likely planning and Building Regulations implications
• whether the site could support a viable development route beyond concept stage

The feasibility work also considered likely development value and build cost at an early stage, so that the design options could be tested against a realistic commercial framework.

lewisham existing upper floor condition and second floor plan scaled Feasibility study for 5 flats and a garden dwelling in Lewisham

Development option tested

The feasibility study explored a redevelopment strategy consisting of:

• a three-storey replacement main building
• and a self-contained single-storey dwelling within the rear garden

The main building followed the front building line and stepped at the rear in a way that related to the footprint of the existing house and the neighbouring properties. The rear garden house was positioned lower within the plot and handled as a quieter landscape-led element in order to manage visual impact, overlooking and privacy.

This tested a more intensive use of the site shaped around frontage, plot depth, side access, neighbouring gardens and the architectural character of Westdown Road.

Access and practical feasibility

Access to the rear dwelling was to be taken through the side gap characteristic of the Westdown Road streetscape. The proposals retained this side route and used it to create a sloping stepped access of approximately 20 metres from the street to the rear house. The brief also notes that further consultation would be required in relation to emergency and fire access.

The main building was arranged with level access at entry level, shared circulation, and access to refuse and cycle storage both via the communal entrance and directly from the external side path. The overall scheme was conceived as a car-free development, supported by the site’s public transport connections.

These practical points were part of the feasibility study from the outset. Access, servicing and fire strategy were not treated as secondary matters to be resolved later.

Application to similar sites

This feasibility study is relevant to sites where:
• the existing building has failed structurally and replacement development is under consideration
• the plot depth creates scope for intensification beyond a straightforward replacement house
• the planning position is relatively open but still sensitive because of local character or non-designated heritage issues
• density, mix, landscape and access all need to be tested together at feasibility stage
• development value needs to be considered alongside planning and design logic

This project is a useful reference for deep residential plots where the planning case depends on combining demolition justification, intensification, access, landscape and housing mix into one coherent strategy.

Accommodation mix

The feasibility study tested a mix of homes intended to make efficient use of the site while remaining realistic in planning and market terms.

Garden dwelling
• 2-bedroom, 4-person single-storey home
• 70 sqm
• separate access
• large south-facing private garden amenity area

Main building

Ground floor
• Flat 01: 3-bedroom, 6-person family unit
• 95 sqm
• private south-facing garden amenity area
• communal entrance, bin store and bike store

First floor
• Flat 02: 2-bedroom, 3-person flat
• Flat 03: 2-bedroom, 3-person flat
• 61 sqm each

Second floor
• Flat 04: 1-bedroom, 2-person flat
• Flat 05: 1-bedroom, 2-person flat
• 50 sqm each

The study replaced one obsolete dwelling with a more usable mix of family accommodation, smaller flats and a separate rear-garden house. The brief notes that the proposals were intended to reflect local demand and likely buyer demographics.

Sustainability and Passive House ambition

The site’s south-facing orientation was treated as an opportunity to achieve a high level of environmental performance, and the brief records sustainability as a central consideration throughout the design stage.

The proposals were developed with a Passive House ambition, including:

• generous openings for daylight and cross-ventilation
• high levels of insulation
• airtight construction with heat recovery ventilation
• triple glazing
• LED lighting and smart controls
• rainwater collection and sustainable drainage
• solar photovoltaic and solar water heating potential
• and possible use of ground source heat pumps linked to the excavation works and partially sunken garden house

The brief also states that the project was intended to be developed further with the support of a Certified Passive House Designer or Consultant, with the aim of moving towards Passive House certification at a later stage.

Design and planning response

The design development was guided by two requirements: increasing density and maintaining a credible relationship with the character of the street. The brief describes this as a balance between maximising occupancy and density and retaining the architecturally significant character of the immediate area.

Westdown Road is characterised by Victorian housing, generous front gardens, yellow stock brickwork, stone detailing and a clear rhythm of roof forms and spacing. The replacement main building was therefore developed to sit within that architectural language rather than against it.

The rear garden dwelling took a different approach. It was proposed as a partially sunken single-storey house with vertical charred timber cladding and a green roof, with the roof kept to a low profile at no more than 2.2 metres above adjacent ground level. This allowed the rear unit to remain visually recessive while still making productive use of the garden portion of the site.

Residential quality and landscape

he brief notes that the proposals were developed to provide generous rooms, considered layouts and flexible living arrangements aligned with the London Plan and Lewisham supplementary planning guidance.

The intention was to replace an obsolete residential arrangement with a more relevant mix of homes and a more efficient use of the site.

Landscape was also part of the feasibility logic. The rear garden was treated as an active part of the site strategy rather than residual land. Existing trees were to be removed and replaced with a landscape approach aimed at improving greening, biodiversity and amenity while retaining the broad character of the large gardens in the immediate area.

Testimonial

“We loved working with GOAStudio.

George was a pleasure to work with – he was hugely professional, and struck absolutely the right balance between taking on board our ideas, and pushing us to think about new options and solutions.

He made sure his approach was proportionate to the scale and nature of our project – and most importantly, he was great fun to have around. We were delighted with the service we received – and couldn’t be happier with our finished kitchen extension.”

Featured | “London living reinvented” by Alissa Ugolini in Homify:

“Architects and homeowners alike are getting more and more inventive when it comes to figuring out how to use and reinvent the space at the rear of their inner-city properties. In most cases, the living room or kitchen area is rethought before all other rooms, due to the fact they are viewed as some of the most important spaces in a home. Value and resale wise, how the kitchen looks, in particular, has the potential to make or break a sale. The kitchen is seen as the heart of the home; a space that connects all other rooms and family members together so it makes sense that it should be a well laid out space conducive to conversation and interaction. Today on Homify, we are touring through a wonderful side house extension by GOAStudio London residential architecture which will surely inspire you to make changes to your home.“
