St John’s Vale

Project Description:

Project: St John’s Vale

Location: South East London

Status: Build Complete

Budget: ££

Remodelling of an existing house.  

The site, located opposite St John’s Church, is a detached 3 storey dwelling towards the south side of the residential road. The dwelling house was built in the 1970s, considerably later than neighbouring semi-detached buildings along the road. Consequently, the house does not follow the same semi-detached Victorian villa vernacular found across the conservation area, presenting the site as unique within its context.

The clients approached Chirag Desai Architects with a clear brief and direction to improving their home. The interventions made during the design process radically transforms the ground and first floors, transforming the disjointed spaces to harmoniously working together across separate levels. The ground floor garage, hallway and studio has been transformed into an open plan living space accommodating the kitchen, dining and snug. The first floor provides a flexible space using folding partitions to make way for a studio office, TV area and play. The second floor has been retained to house the bedrooms.

This project has progressed through build and has now completed.
