Local design firm ROAR Architects has extended a Victorian home nestled in Southeast London -- it is dubbed the Newton Park Place. The home is complete with grass details and the living spaces are framed with oak wood overlooking a large garden. The Newton Park Place has a Grade II-listed former gardener's cottage which is just at the Chislehurst Conservation Area.
ROAR Architects director Craig Rosenblatt told Dezeen, "We designed the new extension to be purposefully different from the Grade II-listed gardeners cottage, as supported by Bromley's conservation officer, and the dining area was set back to respect original footprint and historic plan form. Rather than the typical 'super room' open-plan layout, our client asked for separate spaces," he continued. "The ground floor is designed as four separate spaces all connected by timber doors. Each room feels appropriate to the scale of the old gardener's cottage."
