Cleaver Square - Lightwell | ambo architects

The owners of this late Georgian townhouse in an attractive London square wished to rearrange the accommodation to provide more reception spaces, with better access to the garden. The building's listed status involved detailed negotiations to permit new elements to be introduced within the historic fabric. A 1960's back addition gave enough space to create a kitchen/ dining space opening out onto a terrace area, with a quiet main bedroom and bathroom above it at first floor level. At the junction of the 18th and 20th century parts a light well space has been formed, with a motorized skylight roof, revealing the original rear elevation wall and windows as internal features.
