Architects in Fulham As architects in Fulham Shape Architecture continue to design a large number of basement extensions in the Borough. At Stevenage Road we obtained planning permission for a large scale basement extension combined with side and rear extensions, pod room and complete internal refurbishment. This project followed on from a number we had recently completed in the ‘alphabet’ streets in Fulham. Basement Extensions in London Here the garden lightwell forms a striking element of the basement extension. Rather than being located across the width of the building as the lightwell has been in many other Fulham basement conversions, it is rotated such that it projects further into the basement interior and allows a studio/office space to be located at the garden end of the basement. These spaces give onto the lightwell and benefit from the light and aspect that it provides. As a basement extension the way in which the interior of this project integrates with the garden spaces is very successful. Extensions in Fulham This project involved side and rear extensions as part of the overall development. The side and rear extensions combine to create a spacious and light kitchen and dining space. Our experience of designing extensions in Fulham lies in the way in which these perimeter spaces bring light into the interior and enhance the visual and physical connections between inside and outside. Fulham Pod Room This is an example of another Fulham Pod Room that we have designed and built as part of a basement extension and whole house conversion project. Once more the addition of the pod room provides further welcome and well located accommodation to a project. Basement Architects in London Shape Architecture continues to design basement extensions in London, particularly in Fulham, Kensington and Westminster and throughout South-West London. As architects in London we undertake a building type such as basement extensions across a variety of boroughs and with various planning authorities and it is this breadth of experience that each project benefits from.

Mixing metals and shapes made this bathroom warm and modern at the same time!

This Queen Anne style five story townhouse in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn is one of a pair that were built in 1887 by Charles Erhart, a co-founder of the Pfizer pharmaceutical company. The brownstone façade was restored in an earlier renovation, which also included work to main living spaces. The scope for this new renovation phase was focused on restoring the stair hallways, gut renovating six bathrooms, a butler’s pantry, kitchenette, and work to the bedrooms and main kitchen. Work to the exterior of the house included replacing 18 windows with new energy efficient units, renovating a roof deck and restoring original windows. In keeping with the Victorian approach to interior architecture, each of the primary rooms in the house has its own style and personality. The Parlor is entirely white with detailed paneling and moldings throughout, the Drawing Room and Dining Room are lined with shellacked Oak paneling with leaded glass windows, and upstairs rooms are finished with unique colors or wallpapers to give each a distinct character. The concept for new insertions was therefore to be inspired by existing idiosyncrasies rather than apply uniform modernity. Two bathrooms within the master suite both have stone slab walls and floors, but one is in white Carrara while the other is dark grey Graffiti marble. The other bathrooms employ either grey glass, Carrara mosaic or hexagonal Slate tiles, contrasted with either blackened or brushed stainless steel fixtures. The main kitchen and kitchenette have Carrara countertops and simple white lacquer cabinetry to compliment the historic details.
