Common to all our projects is the use of glass to bring natural light into all parts of a building and to provide a better visual and physical connection between the Interior and exterior. These vary from structural glass panels to glass cubes such as at Hurlingham Road basement and much else in between.

“Shape Architecture have successfully met the criteria laid down in a number of ways including the creation of an interior that works around the principles of transparency, openness and light. Their attention to detail was exemplary.”

– Mr. P Gillies , Transformation of Listed Apartment

Our project in St Dionis Road in Fulham involves the modernisation of a house to create a light bright and contemporary home.  An extensive glass rooflight is used to flood the interior with light at Ground Floor.  Full width glazed doors open up onto the small rear garden also designed by Shape Architecture.  At the upper level the conversion of the loft and addition of a pod room add further accommodation.  At first floor level a Master bedroom with en-suite and walk-in-wardrobe is added.

Shape Architecture has been successful in obtaining planning permission for roof terraces throughout London.  These vary from those to Listed Buildings such as Florin Court, to a variety of Mews houses.  In Fulham our projects include a roof terrace in Danehurst Road to a typical terraced house.  In this instance valuable outdoor space is provided to a Duplex flat.  We have also recently completed a similar terrace to another Duplex flat in Cavaye House on Fulham Road.

“Jason and Robin were very helpful in coming up with some lovely designs for a terrace – they were very quick with the turnaround and communicated with me clearly throughout the process!”

A successful basement extension rests on the bringing in of natural light into the interior, which is key in creating a quality of space and this is where we have much experience.  Our Fulham basement projects form an important part of our portfolio of work.  We have carried out over 30 basement projects throughout London, 15 of which are in Fulham, where our very first basement project in Ellerby street was undertaken.  Our basement extensions range from those to mews properties, to houses and below gardens and flats.

We communicate clearly to our clients, and this is the foundation for a successful project.  All designs, no matter what size, are developed in 3D alongside freehand drawing.  A typical concept proposals brochure will have 4 or 5 different options described in 3D, 2D and freehand drawings and this will be the basis for discussion with the Client as we determine the preferred design.
