Shooter’s Hill
BLACKHEATH
sHOOTER’S hILL is a cREATIVE OVERHAUL OF THE ENTIRETY OF a Grade II listed Georgian House IN bLACKHEATH.
The family’s brief was to extend and improve the property so that it added variety and character to everyday life. A sensitive retrofit approach throughout the house sees new materials bring a contemporary feel to the Georgian shell.
Natural light is extremely important for improving wellbeing and each space therefore benefits from ample light throughout the day. The basement and ground floor extension creates further living spaces and new options for entertaining guests.
A clever design approach has introduced dramatic changes to the rear: full height glazing is capped by zinc profiles to create a highly transparent element at the back of the house. The glazing allows the space to be flooded with natural light despite the north-facing aspect Generally, the home has been given a new lease of life. The entrance sequence on the ground floor has been reordered while new floor space has been created for new living spaces and a sweeping open plan kitchen and dining space that unfolds into the garden.
