New Roof Terrace at Cavendish House Shape Architecture was successful in obtaining planning permission for this large roof terrace at Cavendish House on Brighton’s seafront opposite the i360. Our client’s apartment gave onto the existing flat roof and in forming a door from an existing window opening, easy access could be gained. The enclosure to[…]
New Roof Structure and Terrace Shape Architecture has just submitted a Pre-App looking at the addition of a new structure and terrace to a duplex flat in the Kings Road. We have obtained planning permission previously for various types of rooftop development and our pre-app for this project explores four options. The pre-app process is[…]
New Roof Terrace Shape Architecture has just been granted planning permission for a new roof terrace in Danehurst Street, Fulham. This is a good planning permission as the roof terrace provides valuable outdoor space to a duplex flat which currently has none. The property itself is a standard terrace house common across London. A rear[…]
Shape Architecture continues to undertake basement extensions in Hammersmith and Fulham. This project incorporates a new basement extension with front and rear lightwells and provides a large family room, bedroom, bathroom and various other storage spaces. As with other basement extensions much effort is made in filling the interior with natural light. […]
Shape Architecture Side Infill Extension, Brighton Following our recent blog item looking at a side extension in Brighton we have further photographs of the green sedum roof. At Shape Architecture many of our projects have sedum roofs and these range from small house extensions to larger community projects. A Sedum roof has[…]
Located on the Fulham Road, Shape Architecture has extended and redesigned the interior of this duplex flat in Cavaye House. We have relocated and designed new bathrooms, walk-in-wardrobes, and kitchen alongside, two new balcony spaces. What was a tired flat is now a light, bright contemporary space. The walk-in-wardrobe is paired[…]
At Shape Architecture we undertake many residential extensions in Brighton of all types and size. Very often a relatively small design change has a great impact and results in a far improved home. Our projects are characterised by light, bright contemporary interiors flooded with light and coupled with excellent visual and physical connections with the[…]
Shape Architecture has been working on an interior design project that looks at how the entrance and corridor area of a typical house can be re-worked to embrace interior and external views and natural light. This approach is explored with sculptural elements defining zones rather than the enclosing walls that at present have[…]
Shape Architecture has obtained planning permission for many different roof terraces, ranging from Florin Court in Westminster to Cavendish House on Brighton seafront and many in between. Here we are exploring how an existing flat roof with a window overlooking it can become an easily accessible roof terrace to the flat behind. Roof[…]
Following on from last week’s blog which looked at our new project in Rustington to the west of Worthing, where the challenge is to establish a sea view, this project is located in Normans Bay and gives directly onto the beach. The location is very impressive with uninterrupted views of sea, sky and[…]
Shape Architecture was asked by a Client if they could see the sea if they extended upwards and formed a terrace or balcony. For us this presented a very interesting exercise, from which hopefully a much improved home would evolve. The property is located to the west of Brighton in Rustington and is[…]
Shape Architecture has been working on a house in Southwick where we have been commissioned to add a large side extension to include kitchen/dining space and a new garage. The property is quite distinctive and has many important architectural features both in terms of key building elements such as the entrance tower and at the[…]
Shape Architecture was asked to design a lightwell for a basement project by our Client in Fulham. Given the many basement extensions we have built in Fulham and throughout London we have a lot of experience of lightwell design in various forms and were very pleased to be involved. Our work started[…]
Shape Architecture Residential Architects Over the last week Shape Architecture has had a further three planning applications approved. They form a good comparison as each is quote similar albeit in differing locations and all represent common forms of extension and development of private houses and flats. The permissions are for properties in Wimbledon, Wandsworth[…]
Shape Architecture is now finalising its technical drawings set for our project at a modern townhouse in Woodsford Square near Holland Park. We had previously completed a similar project a few doors down last year and this formed the basis for our selection. Each project addresses the issue of light and transparency in forming a[…]
Working as architects in Eastbourne our new detached house on a challenging site is nearing completion. The site, as with many other potential sites in and around Eastbourne, was the garden of a residential dwelling. Planning permission had been achieved by the owner for a bungalow several years earlier. The brief was to obtain planning[…]
Shape Architecture continues to expand its portfolio of Mews projects. Here in Westminster we have now completed a further Mews house with the addition of a new storey and the conversion of the garage into habitable accommodation. These additions have markedly changed the nature of what was a small house and allowed an entirely different[…]
