Common to all our projects is the use of glass to bring natural light into all parts of a project and to provide a better visual and physical connection between the Interior and exterior. These vary from structural glass panels set into the floor to glass cubes housing stairs. Large scale glazed panels and rooflights feature in our projects.

“Shape Architecture have successfully met the criteria laid down in a number of ways including the creation of an interior that works around the principles of transparency, openness and light. Their attention to detail was exemplary.”

– Mr. P Gillies , Transformation of Listed Apartment

We carry out house extensions of all types which all serve to transform a home.   Light bright contemporary interiors are formed with excellent views onto gardens beyond.  Very often the roof is a green sedum roof with an elegant rooflight set within.  This helps the extension merge into the garden when viewed from floor levels above.  We will design 3 or 4 options to discuss with our clients and all designs use 3D graphics to ensure clear communication.

This loft conversion and roof terrace totally transforms the upper level flat of a terraced house.  Previously without any outdoor space the flat is now a duplex flat with a well-integrated and interesting outdoor space.  We carry out many roof terrace and small projects throughout Wandsworth and neighbouring boroughs and all serve to have a transforming effect often with a relatively small intervention.

If you are considering a roof terrace or other extension project in Wandsworth please feel free to contact us at london@shapearchitecture.co.uk.  We would be happy to discuss this with you.

This project is larger than our Case study 01 and is also illustrative of the design process common to all our projects no matter what their size.  A rear extension to a townhouse with extension at ground floor and re-working of the layout at all upper floors.  The design process is built around the use of 3D computer models that allow us to communicate clearly with our clients and explore a variety of design options.  We typically provide 4 options and then develop the preferred option.  All via meetings held our Clients’ house.

Shape Architecture’s portfolio of work in Wandsworth spans a variety of type and scale.  This project would be at the larger end and is the development of six town houses with basements.  The scheme maximises the potential of the site and sees the design of houses with ample gardens and lightwells as basement level.  We are experienced at maximising the potential of sites in Wandsworth and throughout London and have built relations with a number of developer clients who return to us for a range of projects.

If you are considering developing a site in Wandsworth or any other borough, please feel free to contact us at london@shapearchitecture.co.uk.  We would be happy to discuss this with you.

Our basement projects form an important part of our portfolio of work.  We have carried out over 30 basement projects throughout London.  Our basement extensions range from those to mews properties, to houses and below gardens and flats.

A successful basement extension rests on the bringing in of natural light into the interior, which is key in creating a quality of space and this is where we have much experience.  Added to this is the design of the stair which might be sat below a glazed section of roof.  Thereafter the arrangement of rooms and their relationship with lightwells is important to consider.

We communicate clearly to our clients, and this is the foundation for a successful project.  All designs, no matter what size, are developed in 3D alongside freehand drawing.  A typical concept proposals brochure will have 4 or 5 different options described in 3D, 2D and freehand drawings and this will be the basis for discussion with the Client as we determine the preferred design.
