Arquest Architecture is proposing a sensitive enlargement and alteration of a property within the Nunhead Green Conservation Area. 

This project seeks to harmonise an anomalous dwelling with its Victorian terrace through a proposed hip-to-gable roof extension, loft conversion, and significant internal alterations. Currently, the property deviates from the street’s consistent design with its hip roof and two-level outrigger.

Our scheme proposes addressing this by converting the hip roof to a gable, aiming to match the area’s aesthetic. The rear outrigger is proposed to be extended to three stories, which would create a consistent building line. The proposed loft conversion includes a set-back, arched dormer designed to soften its impact on the street view, aiming to seamlessly integrate the property into the established Nunhead Green streetscape.

​

Internally, the proposal seeks to transform the ground floor’s layout and opening sizes. A currently dark utility room is proposed to become a light-filled connection to the kitchen, aiming to align the property’s massing with its neighbours.
