Hammersmith House Extension

Satish Jassal Architects has secured planning permission for a rear extension to a four-storey 19th-century terraced house in the Olympia and Avonmore Conservation Area, Hammersmith & Fulham.

The project extends the kitchen and living spaces, enhancing the functionality and quality of the home while carefully preserving the character of the existing terrace. The design responds sensitively to its conservation area setting, ensuring the extension integrates seamlessly with the original building.

Particular attention has been given to maintaining the relationship between the house and its garden. The extension is designed to maximise internal space without compromising the quality, openness or usability of the outdoor area, a key consideration for family living in dense urban contexts.

The proposal demonstrates how thoughtful rear extensions can unlock additional living space within historic homes, balancing contemporary needs with heritage sensitivity.
