Fulham wrap around extension to Ground Floor Flat
This Fulham wrap around extension serves to totally transform a ground floor flat. Contemporary and light filled, the extension creates a spacious kitchen and living space with excellent physical and visual connection with the garden. The material treatment of the roof is of interest, as where we often use green sedum roofs with rooflights set within, this approach sees a glazed roof providing a strong feeling of space and openness and flooding the interior with natural light. As soon as you enter the space you are very aware of the garden and sky and the play of light and shadow. The plan layout is now simpler and the connection between the interior and garden is much improved. A further bathroom and utility space are also added to the existing small basement.

Summary
Wrap-around Extension, Fulham
This project is successful in flooding the interior with daylight. The wrap-around roof is almost entirely formed in glass. We also successfully demonstrated to Building Control that such an extensive amount of glass still complied with the thermal performance requirements of the building regulations
Guide to Extensions in Fulham
The form of the roof and the materials used will define the extension. The roof is visible to many and should be well composed. We very often use green sedum roofs with simple rooflights set within. In contrast this project is a fully glazed roof and the effect both externally and from within the space is dramatic.
