The architectural and urban character varies considerably across the Conservation Area and has evolved over a long period of time. The initial notion of this projects was was to refurbish this 19th century Victorian semi-detached house and to transform the attic space into a family room along with a rear extension to provide dinning and living space.
During the course of the construction period, the client came up with a desire to convert the basement into a guest bed with en-suite bathroom and utility space. Large panels of roof-light were added to improve the daylight to the ground floor. The second floor was designed as a library plus reading hall, whilst the third floor was designed as a nursery.
The Brick Lane and Fournier Street Conservation Area is one of the most important historic areas in London. This design proposal was prepared for the following purposes:
- To comply with the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. Section 69(1).
- To follow the detailed appraisal of the area’s architectural and historic character. All repairs and alterations should seek to preserve the 18th century character and design of each house.
- Rainwater pipes should be cast iron to original detailing. Railings should be replaced or restored to original pattern.
