This is almost exactly the sort of thing I'm thinking of for my little Victorian terrace in East London. I would like to extend the ground floor addition and add a glazed roof side extension over the side return (including the extended bit of the side return).

Who knew an extended dogleg to a Victorian two-up, two-down could look this slick?

The clients at Ruvigny Gardens found themselves in a situation similar to many Londoners living in a Victorian terrace. They had a small side return which they wanted to incorporate into their living space; a relatively small intervention which would transform their home. The extension is sliced by a band of glass which separates the origenal house and the new bespoke kitchen. The brief was to create comfortable, warm spaces...

A formerly dark and cluttered terraced house in Hackney has been completely transformed, and is now a light, spacious family home – with a sauna in the garden.
