/ Project Overview.

The Ivydale Road SE15 project is a showcase of exceptional design and craftsmanship. The project's journey spanned 18 weeks and entailed complete renovation, including the construction of an L-shaped box dormer with roof terrace. This ambitious transformation involved creating three bedrooms, one study, two bathrooms, one shower room, and a delightful roof terrace, alongside a comprehensive revision of the existing first floor.

/ Clients Requirements and Goals.

Our client requested outdoor space alongside fitted bespoke birch ply joinery throughout. They had a keen interest in unique storage areas and an open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area with custom lighting. Further, they wanted a new central heating system, full rewiring, a complete re-roof, air conditioning, hardwood flooring throughout living areas, and a suite of bespoke aluminium external windows, doors, and rooflight. For their bathroom, they chose a modern microcement finish.

/ Challenges and Solutions.

Executing the Ivydale Road SE15 project was not without its challenges, each methodically transformed into a stepping stone for success:


  • Gaining Planning Approval for Rooftop Terrace: We successfully navigated the planning application process.

  • Space Optimisation: Our design incorporated three bedrooms, a study, two bathrooms, and a shower room within the provided space ingeniously.

  • Custom Joinery and Fixtures: The project boasted a range of bespoke elements. These items, including lighting, open-riser staircases, and microcement bathrooms, required specialized handling and expertise.

  • Fire Suppression System: Our team met building regulations by incorporating a fire suppression system within the open-plan living area.

  • Integration of Air Conditioning: We integrated the air conditioning system within the joinery, concealing it for a seamless aesthetic.

  • Staircase Overcladding: The staircase was expertly overclad with hardwood flooring and custom nosings.

The re-roofing and full rewiring of the property align perfectly with the microcement bathroom and hardwood flooring, providing a perfect blend of functionality and luxurious aesthetics.
