Wellstudio ArchitectureWellstudio Architecture
Side and rear extension for the client's five bedroom Victorian villa on Telegraph Hill. Wellstudio designed an extension to transform the ground floor living space for the growing family, giving them a new light filled volume at the rear of their house which would enhance their wellbeing: space where they could relax, chat, cook, and eat. The new extension increased the length of the space by approximately 3 metres and allowed the floor to ceiling height to be increased from 2.85metres to 3.4 metres, bringing in extra light and a feeling of elevation.​​ The new volume also extended approximately 1 metre to the side to further increase the space available. The project enhanced the family's connection with nature by providing much increased levels of natural light and rear glass doors overlooking the garden.

Ontdek onze transformatie van een historisch juweeltje in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid! We zijn verheugd om ons nieuwste project in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid te onthullen - een tijdloze schat, oorspronkelijk ontworpen in 1890 door de beroemde architect Jacob Klinkhamer. We omarmen de rijke geschiedenis van dit vooraanstaande huis en hebben het omgetoverd tot een gastvrije en eigentijdse woning, zorgvuldig afgestemd op de behoeften van zijn nieuwe gezin. Met behoud van het erfgoed en de schoonheid van de straatgevel, die de status van beschermd gemeentelijk monument heeft, hebben we ervoor gezorgd dat er slechts kleine aanpassingen werden doorgevoerd om de historische charme te behouden. Achter de elegante buitenkant wachtte echter een uitgebreide renovatie van het interieur en een structurele revisie. Van het verdiepen van de keldervloer tot het introduceren van een liftschacht, we hebben geen middel onbeproefd gelaten bij het opnieuw vormgeven van deze ruimte voor het moderne leven. Elk aspect van de indeling is zorgvuldig herschikt om de functionaliteit te maximaliseren en een naadloze stroom tussen de kamers te creëren. Het resultaat? Een harmonieuze mix van klassiek en eigentijds design, die de geest van het verleden weerspiegelt en het comfort van vandaag omarmt. Het kroonjuweel van dit project is de toevoeging van een prachtig modern dakterras, dat een adembenemend uitzicht op de skyline van de stad biedt en de perfecte plek is voor ontspanning en entertainment. Wij nodigen u uit om de transformatie van dit historische juweeltje op onze website te ontdekken. Wees getuige van het huwelijk tussen ouderwetse charme en moderne elegantie, en zie hoe we een huis hebben getransformeerd in een geliefd thuis.

The rear elevation was built with yellow stock bricks to match the existing walls of the property but, with the addition of a sleek aluminum top fascia, to complement the clean lines of the glazing.

Terraced House Ideas and Designs

With so much attention devoted to interior design, the exterior of a home can often get overlooked, but as the first thing that welcomes both us and our guests, it is worth devoting some time tending to the outside of your house. Furthermore, focusing on the kerb appeal of your home can add significant value if and when it comes time to sell up. Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian homes, with their bay windows and elegant plasterwork, often benefit from built in architecture advantages, but even if your house design is unassuming from the outside, small decorative and structural improvements to the exterior of your home can equal huge impact. Key areas of building design to focus on are the front door, the driveway or approach to your home, the porch area, the windows, the facade and the roof. And just a note of caution... before any significant exterior architecture gets under way, check first whether you need planning permission for your exterior house designs– this applies particularly to listed houses or buildings in a conservation area, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Take a look through the house designs, exterior architecture and images of front doors and driveways on Houzz to inspire your facade or building design, or read on for a few more pointers when it comes to redesigning your exterior.

How do I give my home an exterior facelift?

You may feel like your home’s exterior architecture is unalterable but there are a wide range of options available to improve its external building design, no matter what raw materials you begin with. Begin with the front door and the pathway or driveway that lead up to your home as these are easy to improve without huge budgets. A driveway or pathway must be kept neat and tidy and you can consider replacing tarmac with attractive tiles or gravel. Repainting or replacing the fence, wall or gate that fronts your home can also offer an overnight transformation without breaking the bank. An area to not cut corners however is the front door, where spending a little extra can make a huge difference in quality, and painting it in a colour you love will pay you back every time it welcomes you home! Updating your windows can be a significant building design project but it is one that has benefits both inside and out, as well as potentially saving you money on energy later. If you are lucky enough to have period windows such as bay windows with sash or leaded windows, then maintaining them should be a top priority, but if they are beyond repair then there are plenty of window professionals that will offer modern, double or triple glazed equivalents that could still work in your bay window. Working with uPVC? Not a problem – the best improvement you can make is to ensure your windows are the right size and shape for your home's overall proportions.

How do I update my home’s facade?

When it comes to updating the facade of your home, painting is the quickest and most affordable way to achieve a makeover, and if you opt for a colour other than white it can really make a statement (although sticking within the palette of your road and local area is advisable). A makeover that requires a bit more patience but can add romance and character to the most mundane of homes is to adorn the walls with climbing plants – delicate trailing wisteria is ever a British favourite, whilst roses and jasmine offer fragrance as well as beauty. If you’re looking to make more significant changes to the exterior of your home, whether that is adding timber cladding, hanging tiles, installing a bay window or rendering, then you should first check whether your house designs require planning permission. A New England style wood boarded home is beautiful and bright, but remember that it will need frequent repainting if it is going to stay looking its best, whilst stucco render or Tyrolean render can tidy up a home's exterior but think carefully before covering over original brickwork.

What should I consider if building a home from scratch?

If you’re working with an architect on a brand new build, the options are endless when it comes to deciding on the exterior architecture. But first things first, you will need to check planning permissions, building regulations and local restrictions, such as being in a conservation area, to make sure your plans for your exterior house designs will meet stipulations. If you are building in a street with predominantly Victorian facades, with bay windows and side returns, you might need to ensure your house designs fit in with the rest of the homes on the street, but if you’re building in a more remote area you’ll probably have more freedom for your building design. There are many architectural decisions to make, do you want a flat, gabled, hipped, mansard or perhaps even a curved roof? Do you want bay windows? Crittall windows? Perhaps external shutters? Do you want glass walls? Do you want wood cladding? Do you want a very symmetrical building design or something more contemporary? The decision is all yours but remember to consider the benefits of various materials over others and the effects that some architecture styles will have on everyday life, for example glass walls will look attractive but will give you less privacy. Your architect or builder will be able to guide you through the best exterior architecture choices for your house designs.
