Godfrey Street

Chelsea

Basement Extension to a Terraced 1900's Property in West End Chelsea:

Ground Floor Refurbishment
Basement Extension Under Footprint Property
Modification of a Rear Garden

Godfrey Street, Chelsea

The clients brief for the project at Godfrey Street was to provide additional living spaces by creating a basement extension under the footprint of their terraced house. Approval was granted by The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea to develop the basement excavation project which involved producing a careful traffic management plan to ensure construction vehicles would safely manoeuvre along this narrow street.

With the creation of a basement extension, the ground floor kitchen was relocated to the basement level along with a new lounge/TV area and a new toilet under the new staircase.

A new plant room was also sited at the front of the basement housing all the mechanical equipment such as the water tank, boiler, underfloor heating manifold.
