Herondale Avenue, Wandsworth

 

Replacing a two-room existing extension, this new rear extension to a semidetached house in Wandsworth transformed the ground floor space internally and out. Its beautifully architectural roof trusses form the roof lights and cantilever off the rear of the house. A curved green roof surrounds the glazed trusses.

Graphic Structures provided the structural engineering design, simplifying the roof into two key components: a truss and a full width beam. This minimalist structure provided an efficient and elegant structural solution.

The garden around the new extension was landscaped and a living wall was incorporated into the design, transferring the outside in.

The project won a Commendation in the Structural Engineering Awards 2019 from the Institution of Structural Engineers Awards – South Eastern Counties Regional Group and also a 2020 Wandsworth Design Award from Wandsworth Council.

Completed 2019
