Winchester College Dormitory –
Seymour and Bainbridge, 2007
A successful 3-storey addition to
a 17th century dormitory which
adjoins the 14th century St Mary’s
Chapel and uses a combination of
solid flint walls and large frameless
corner windows, together with copper
butterfly roof and glazed atrium next
to Chambers. The glazed link enables
minimal alterations to the existing
fabric and adds interest to the
transition from old to new internally.
The result is a delight to behold!
London Town House –
Waugh Thistleton Architects, 2011
This Grade II listed early Victorian
townhouse was in a very dilapidated
state. The design proposals were
informed by a heritage significance
statement and included a side
extension to first and second floors
and an elegant contemporary
double-height glass infill extension
to the rear. The historic cellular
floor plan was retained, and
cornices, staircase and architectural
joinery were repaired or reinstated.
A contemporary approach was
taken in the basement and it
was possible to provide a small
subterranean extension to the
side and rear wing, which had
to be underpinned anyway.
London Town House –
Found Associates, 2010
A six-storey Grade II listed early
19th-century townhouse in Belgravia
Conservation Area. The proposals
involved demolition of poor quality
first floor additions and the
construction of a three-storey glazed
infill extension and a first floor
extension over the closet wing, both
in a contemporary style. There was
also extensive internal remodelling
and refurbishment including removal
of a poor quality reproduction
staircase and panelling, installation
of a new staircase in the closet wing
and introduction of air-conditioning
and underfloor heating.
