The conversation and renovation of 2 flats into a single dwelling home. To bring back the old charm that was lost due to previous & unsympathetic alterations.

Challenges

The original foundations of the house were very shallow. As a result, the rear end of the house was sinking into the ground, detaching itself from the main house.
It is not uncommon structural issue in these type of properties but we had to underpin and support the entire house before we could start the construction stage that relate to the actual design.

About the client

The client were a lovely young couple that lived in the top part of this unmodernised house.
They had the opportunity to buy the bottom part of the house and their vision was to unite the two parts of the house into one single dwelling house and bring back the old charm that was lost due to past renovations.
Brosh architects couldn’t agree more with their vision and welcomed this approach and we worked together in a perfect sync.
