Transformation of an existing 3 storey house built in the 1970’s.
This project involved the transformation of an existing 3 storey house built in the 1970’s. A rather uncompromising building sitting within Ely conservation area, the challenge was to explore appropriate materials and forms that would cost effectively remodel the frontage without radical intervention.
Our client came to us with the simple aim of infilling the undercoft parking to create a new ground floor living space, and was also seeking ways of providing a facelift, particularly from the street scene, all within a very tight budget.
Many people loitered within the undercoft parking area believing it to be a public space. Infilling this area would not only solve this problem and create an additional space, but also provide clues as to how the elevation could be transformed visually.
