Eversfield Road
Our Brief
Set within a characterful Georgian home, this project presented a unique challenge. The rear of the property featured rooms set at two different levels. The client initially secured planning approval for a modest single-storey rear extension, but the design lacked coherence and didn’t maximise the home’s potential. Reigate Architects were commissioned to completely reimagine the proposal, creating a refined and contemporary extension that respects the home’s period character while enhancing modern family living.
Our Response
Our solution introduces a bold yet harmonious contemporary addition, defined by tall glazing that creates a seamless visual and physical connection between the interior and the garden. The distinctive triangular plan form was carefully conceived to maximise internal space while minimising the impact on neighbouring properties.
A continuous strip rooflight runs along the junction with the original rear wall, flooding the interior with natural light and improving ventilation. Inside, a bespoke bookcase–staircase–music wall elegantly bridges the change in level between the existing house and the new garden-level extension, becoming a focal feature in its own right.
Externally, the geometry of the new triangular terrace extends the architecture into the landscape, anchoring the extension within its garden setting and creating a smooth transition from inside to out.
Testimonial
“I have now employed Reigate Architects on two projects and on both occasions Simon provided a a wide variety of potential designs for discussion- some of which were highly thought-provoking and innovative. Simon is not only creative but also practical and pragmatic- therefore his final designs have delivered attractive and clever designs within practical and affordable constraints. We continue to work with Reigate Architects and are happy to recommend them”.
