Station House was an existing Public House building, located near Chiswick train station in West London.
Consent was the change of use of the upper floors, and various external changes, were granted for 4 residential apartments retaining the Public House on ground floor. The external works involve the extrusion of the butterfly roof form to create an extension which reads as part of the existing structure.
The smaller outbuilding was reconfigured to create additional internal floor space. The floor was lowered, and the roof raised slightly, to ensure the changes to this locally listed building was kept to a minimum.
New and reconfigured windows openings were detailed to mimic the style of the existing building. The idea was that the extension, over time, would appear not as an extension, but as the original intended design when this was built during the industrial revolution.
This concept extended to the choice of materials – which were selected to match the existing fabric. The bricks were reclaimed from the demolition phase, and reused as part of the extension. To ensure longevity of the design, we proposed a new internal primary and secondary structural system.
A communal garden was created, on the roof of the smaller building, to offset the lack of private amenity available due to the constraints of the existing listed building. Screening is provided to ensure privacy from the neighbouring properties.
Works were completed in May 2024 using a Traditional JCT contract. Its completion represents a key example of our ethos to retain and reuse existing buildings and materials to reduce the carbon footprint of our designs.
Avenue HeightsThe project brief was to extend a existing linear residential block on the edge of Crouch End, North London. As the design developed, the client extended the works to demolish and rebuild the linear block to improve the quality of the apartments whilst maintaining the contemporary architectural style.

DalstonThe brief was to develop this existing building on Kingsland Road, Dalston, into a mixed use commercial and residential project. The site, located on an old Roman road, has historic significance and was developed in the late 19th Century. The area was significantly bomb damaged during the Second World War, which explains why this building differs architecturally from the terrace resides. T2S felt it was logical to reinstate the Georgian terrace style to the front, whilst proposing a modern extension at the rear to retain a sense of historic honesty to the design.
