Construction: Refurbishments
Ulysses Road
Basement refurbishment on a period terraced property to replace storage space with a refurbished kitchen and new media room, bathroom and storage space. The project included building a new lightwell and required a great deal of initial excavation to provide adequate height in the new rooms.
The property was occupied throughout the works and required extensive underpinning of both neighbouring party walls.
Architect - Francesca Weal

A spacious hallway has been created to link the media room to the kitchen/diner. It also provides access to the new study and shower room as well as incorporating shelving for books etc.
