Victorian home transformation with open-plan living and a striking garden office.

This Victorian-era terraced house in Balham underwent a ground floor refurbishment, transforming the space into a bright, open-plan living area. The project included a full-width rear extension, where steel framing and exposed glulam timber beams were used to create a striking and spacious interior.

In addition to the main house, the project included structural landscaping and a garden office featuring a cantilevered wall structure with a wraparound corner window, a standout feature that blends function with modern design.

Collaboration between the architect and structural engineer was vital in delivering the project. Working closely with Locus Design, the team achieved a seamless integration of architectural vision and structural functionality. This partnership ensured that the design met aesthetic goals while addressing complex engineering challenges, resulting in a refined, high-quality outcome that aligned with the client’s aspirations.
