Fulham Townhouse
Breathing life back into a dilapidated townhouse in west London.
The project involves the comprehensive refurbishment and extension of an existing townhouse in Fulham to create a new low-energy home with natural light and materials as its centre.
A new double height living space is formed at the rear of the house, opening out into a sunken courtyard garden formed by extending the basement storey out into the garden.
A new steel structure and stair is formed within the building, incorporating translucent glass floor panels which permit natural light from the skylight above to travel deep into the middle of the house.
New sustainable heating and energy systems are proposed, including an air source heat pump, mechanical ventilation heat recovery, and rainwater harvesting, and natural materials such as hardwood timber, clay plaster and limestone are used throughout.
