Design of detached house on bank of Thames in one of Richmond’s finest Conservation Areas

The brief of an existing returning client was satisfied by;

1) level access from the public road using ‘in’ and ‘out’ gates,

2) lifting the house up above the Thames 1,000 year flood level,

3) adding an additional floor using a Mansard roof,

4) increasing the Gross Internal Area, achieving 110m2 extra,

5) providing generous floor to ceiling heights, 3m, 2.7m and 2.45m,

6) providing additional emphasis on the entrance using a Portico,

7) providing a symmetrical design with bays each side,

8) providing a clear view when front door is opened of the Thames through house,
