Georgian House Refurbishment
This stunning Georgian house in Kingston upon Thames required a full makeover plus an extension. Cave’s sensitive design focussed on highlighting the building’s beautiful original features.
The brief was to convert this property from individual flats back into a single dwelling and add an extension. The basement and ground floor had lots of meandering corridors and bore no relationship in character to the upper floors. Cave worked hard with the clients to re-establish the flow and identity of this charming building.
By opening up the ground floor, Cave’s design brought in light and connected the spaces throughout the deep footprint of the building.
There is now a smooth transition between the rooms and a better connection to the garden. In addition to this, Cave altered and refurbished all the upper floors to a high standard. Thermal performance was improved using internal insulation and by upgrading to D/G timber sash windows throughout.
The reconfigured internal spaces and the extension have now completely transformed this property from a muddled maze into a flowing, beautiful, light and airy family home.
