Little Venice by DOSarchitects

Our recently completed house extension in Little Venice continues our series of interventions in architecturally sensitive buildings. In this instance, the building in question was a Grade II-listed Victorian semi-detached house in the very desirable Little Venice neighborhood of West London.

Our brief was to inject a breath of fresh air into the property while keeping some of the splendid features and character with which our client had fallen in love when first viewing the property. This led us to focus our intervention on the lower ground floor, where most of the original features had already been removed by the previous owners. In order to create a more family-friendly space on the lower ground floor, we chose to free up some of the internal partitions and add a rear extension to draw more natural light into the property. The extension, consisting of a high-tech stainless steel frame with glass inserts, became a bold addition to the house that, we believe, further enhances the beauty of both architectures by virtue of their contrasting nature.
