Glass walkway to subterranean side extension of prestigious listed London property

Excavation to the new glass walkway subterranean extension and the use of timber louvres to the facade softened the building, helping it to nestle into the garden without imposing on the ancient lime tree to the centre of the garden or the surrounding views.

Excavation allowed for a taller garden room with oversized glazing to this subterranean side extension further enhancing a sense of space. 

It was imperative to the brief that the glass walkway extension would not appear dominant taking away from this listed prestigious property with a rich regal history dating back to the Georgian era.  

The result is a flawless contemporary extension sympathetic to its heritage overcoming the constraints of narrow period properties that don't meet today's modern living needs.  It's no wonder it was shortlisted for a RIBA Award.
