Southwell Road is one half of a Victorian Stuccoed villa, elegant in appearance from the street, but suffering a familiar defect of the Victorian house with a ragged rear elevation and almost no physical or visual connection to the large rear garden.
By means of substantial structural alterations to the existing small rear offshoot, and the erection of a new rear addition extending into a side alleyway, a huge 35sqm combined living, dining and kitchen space was created.

This new plan re-oriented the whole house towards the quiet, private garden at the rear.
