Summary

Basement Extension and Orangery to Grade 2 Listed House in Windsor

The success of this extension in Windsor is in the granting of listed building consent for an extensive basement and orangery to this prominent Grade 2 listed house in Windsor. Planning permission was gained at our first attempt and without the assistance of any support from planning consultants. Rather it was based on a mix of Shape Architecture’s experience in basement projects allied to our experience with the contemporary adaptation of listed buildings.
