Greenwich, SE10
Introduction
Hemington Avenue comprises of a rearextension to a double-fronted detached family home in Finchley, London. The property had previously been extended to the rear but was disconnected from the garden. The client’s brief was to remodel and extend the rear of the property, creating a large open plan kitchen, living and dining area that extends out onto a raised terrace with views of the garden through Crittal-style doors. Large flat rooflights and glass doors dividing the hallway and open plan area, bring natural light into the deep into the property and offer views through the house and out on to the garden from the moment you enter from the street.
