BASEMENT EXTENSION TO LOWER GROUND FLAT, ELEPHANT AND CASTLE, LONDON 

THE BRIEF

The Ground and Lower Ground floor was formally a Dental Practice and an application for change of use to residential was approved. The Lower Ground floor  at the back of the house were small and dark and the developers wanted to explore extending the property to include a basement which needed to be comprehensively excavated to make a spacious kitchen to sell to the market.

THE OUTCOME
Working with our team of expert engineers we effectively designed and rebuilt the flat from the inside out. To make the house safe, all supporting walls were structurally rebuilt and underpinned. Using specialist contractors and traditional materials the dining, kitchen and utility rooms were connected together to create one magnificent light-filled space. KLC Architects were successful in persuading the council planners to grant permission for a fully extended basement with lightwells at the front and at the back of house creating an incredible contemporary design statement and flooded the house with light.
