We have created a playroom, utility and storage areas at the basement level. At ground level, a snug and WC at the front of the house contrasts with a large family kitchen, dining and living space. We have two bedrooms on the first floor along with a family bathroom and a master suite across the whole of the top floor. Large glazing maximises the views and natural light to the rear.<\/p>\n<p>To the front, the property is designed as a conventional-looking house, but to the rear, a palate of brick, aluminium framed glazing and metal cladding will create a bold contemporary design.<\/p>\n<p>The house is designed to surpass current building regulations regarding thermal efficiency, with particular attention paid to overheating control by looking closely at glazing areas. We worked closely with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energistuk.co.uk\/\">energist<\/a> consultants to carry out thermal modelling of the proposals during the design process.<\/p>\n<p>We are working with <a href=\"http:\/\/wishbonebuild.com\/\">Wishbone Design and Build<\/a>, the main contractors on the project. <a href=\"https:\/\/rwarchitect.co.uk\/old\/contact-us\/\">Contact us here to find out more<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can see below a photo of the existing site:<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14475\" src=\"https:\/\/rwarchitect.co.uk\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6153-1024x697.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rwarchitect.co.uk\/old2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6153-1024x697.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rwarchitect.co.uk\/old2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6153-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rwarchitect.co.uk\/old2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6153-768x523.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rwarchitect.co.uk\/old2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6153-767x522.jpg 767w, https:\/\/rwarchitect.co.uk\/old2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6153.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have commenced on-site with an energy-efficient new build house in Barnes in the London Borough of Richmond.
