Sheendale Road, Richmond

This family home has doubled in size, with the addition of a light, bright and spacious subterranean floor. The use of lightwells and ceiling windows has transformed this period property into a large modern home.
Hidden underground is an amazing 100m² of additional living space. With a ceiling height of 2.6m, floor to ceiling windows ensure natural light floods in. It is hard to believe that this area has been created underneath the original property. We were appointed to create a new living area to include an office space, family bathroom, media room, playroom, utility room, a guest bedroom and a storage area to house additional utilities.
Above-ground, the ceiling of the original hallway has been replaced with roof light windows, creating a sense of space and airiness. Light streams in from the hallway, through the glass staircase and enhances the already-bright basement area, which has plenty of natural light provided by its lightwells. The kitchen now has a glass extension and roof lights, providing a bright and spacious open-plan family area. Upstairs, we refurbished the family bathroom and added a newly-created ensuite.
