Edwardian House Refurbishment & Extension
Coombe, Kingston Upon Thames

We were honoured to remodel and extend this elegant Edwardian detached house in Coombe’s conservation area, transforming it into a light-filled, contemporary family home while preserving its historic character.

Our clients wanted a design that balances modern living with the home's period charm. A key focus was a ground floor side infill extension to improve flow, increase natural light, and strengthen the connection to the garden—while retaining the original reception rooms and architectural details.

The 540 sqm property features generous proportions and refined detailing. Our approach respects the heritage while delivering a thoughtful, modern family layout.

The extension uses frameless fixed glazing to create seamless indoor-outdoor flow, with a lightweight projecting flat roof adding architectural clarity and shading. The new kitchen and informal family space showcase bespoke craftsmanship and high-performance materials.

This project shows how contextual design breathes new life into historic homes—offering elegance, practicality, and timeless character.

This newly built house in Wimbledon is one of the few houses in London to achieve advanced levels of energy efficiency standards (PassivHaus or towards PassivHaus). Passivhaus is based on well-researched and proven building physics and is a performance-based set of design criteria for very low-energy buildings, which can help create buildings that use around 90% less energy than standard UK buildings.
