Extension

This project is a direct response to the history of the region as well as its surroundings. It transforms what was originally a summer home into a year-round residence and, in doing so, adds uses that allow for this change, specifically a studio and workshops. Using language derived from New England agrarian architecture, formal archetypes and materials such as corrugated metal siding and open-joint rainscreen allude to barns, grain silos, and drying sheds.

This project involves the extension of a Victorian terraced house in the Cliftonville area of Margate, located along the dramatic southeast coastline of the UK. The renovation entailed a comprehensive overhaul of the existing property, replacing the ground floor kitchen outrigger with a new, light-filled kitchen, and reconfiguring the first floor to create a master bathroom and utility room.

Tilleuls project is a typical example of housing in residential areas. The plot was divided to generate profit, the house was too small, too much partitioned, not adapted anymore to the current lifestyle, and non-insulated. The project quickly heads toward a renovation of the existing building, energetically and spatially, completed by an extension.

Delve Architects have completed a two-storey rear/side extension across two semi-detached cottages on the same site for £500k combined. In Godalming, Surrey two neighbours Tom & Claire and Anushka & Toby were looking to extend and improve their semi-detached homes. With Tom & Claire initially appointing an architect the couple recommended Delve Architects as Director Ed Martin was local to the town and has already navigated planning to renovate his own home, the award-winning Woodthorpe Stables. Rather than separate planning applications which would not have been successful due to right of light issues, the collaboration allowed Delve Architects to receive planning through this joint application.
