Text description provided by the architects. Renovating and extending a typical Victorian terrace always poses a unique set of challenges. The blocks are often long and narrow, with a symmetrical arrangement of period-style bedrooms at the front of the house divided by a central corridor, leading out to a small lean-to structure that was typically constructed in the 1960s and 70s. This creates a house that has the 'nice' part of the house at the front, whereas the rear living spaces are often small, dark, cramped and often awkwardly planned.
