position while the works were being undertaken. It helped that it was a terraced house, because the surrounding properties provided their own support.”


He also points out that maintaining the basic structure of the fi rst fl oor throughout meant it “acted as kind of a prop”, keeping the Salamons’ house secure when the internal walls had been removed. he second fl oor structure was the next part of the build; the roof was removed and replaced with a tin covering that kept the building weatherproof while work was carried out underneath. As new rooms were confi gured, the practice worked alongside a structural engineer to devise load-bearing walls and install steels for support. At the heart of the house there is now a double-height atrium, an impressive focal point forming the kitchen-living-dining area. This 4.7m high space, in a two-storey masonry-built extension topped with a sedum roof, opens up the ground fl oor both vertically and horiontally. With a new curved bulkhead at the back, suggesting the proportions of a Mediterranean palao, this northfacing room is fl ooded with natural light from a magnifi cent oculus roofl ight, and fi nished internally with limewash plaster. he extension, which takes the ground fl oor living space to 91m2


, is clad in thermally-


modifi ed Scandinavian Scots pine, to form a distinctive external feature wall – giving the house its nickname, ‘Waffl e’. ivot doors lead into the generous 65m2


garden, which Hatch


+ Mason landscaped in Mediterranean style, adding a useful shed to store the couple’s exercise equipment. “The ladder effect on the extension’s cladding

was designed to align seamlessly with the glaing and parapets, creating a cohesive look, says Andreas. “It was done this way to give the impression that the cladding is fl oating, without visible fi xings, screws, or brackets, enhancing a sense of upward movement.” The loft conversion was redone and now contains a study, nursery and family bathroom. t’s clad in a sustainable brone cladding, made from treated copper, which also highlights in a feature bay window in the main bedroom, one of two bedrooms (both ensuite) on the 71m2

fi rst fl oor. We chose the brone and the Scandinavian Scots pine to bring in warm colour,” says Andreas. “It’s a stark contrast to the industrial grey tones typical of many London extensions.”


The house is not in a Conversation Area, and the planning permission for the work was obtained from Wandsworth Borough Council in 10 weeks, with no hitches. “It was very smooth, owing to the nature of adjoining buildings, which were signifi cantly higher than the existing house,” says Andreas. “This meant it wasn’t overly challenging [to the planning authority].” Rebuilding also meant a more thermally-


effective home could be created. This was achieved by establishing meticulous levels of airtightness, adding a mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) system and ensuring the entire external fabric of the building, including the existing front facade and new roof, achieved outstanding insulation performance with a mixture of fi bre and solid products. he MVHR supplies passive heating backed up by a high-performance gas boiler.
