Grand Designs magazine recently featured our Stanstead Road project as an example of an inspiring renovation scheme.
The project, which involved the careful refurbishment and extension of a characterful Victorian house in Wanstead, was included in the publication’s Extend, Convert, Renovate! supplement. This informative guide was published alongside the November 2018 issue of the magazine.
Clear Architects’ design focused on restoring the property to its original character. As the house is situated in a Conservation Area, it was vital that any renovation work be sympathetic to its surroundings, respecting the period charm of the existing house.
Numerous eye-catching heritage details on the exterior of the house were restored, including the sash windows and the original brickwork. Inside, the layout of the house was reconfigured to provide a light-filled, flowing space that connects seamlessly to the new extension.
Interior period details were also reinstated as part of the project, including the striking tiled floor in the hallway. An original stained glass window was also incorporated as a standout design feature in the family bathroom. Other interior flourishes, such as the coving and skirting boards, were also restored as part of the scheme.
