Redefining High Street Living

An 8-Bedroom HMO Transformation from a Terrace Townhouse

This ambitious transformation reimagined a traditional terraced townhouse into a modern 8-bedroom House in Multiple Occupation (HMO). The project showcases our expertise in delivering complex urban redevelopments that combine structural precision, smart spatial planning, and elegant design.

Key Project Highlights:

Three-Storey Infill Extension
We expertly delivered a three-storey infill extension, seamlessly integrated with the existing structure. This addition provided substantial new space, expanding the living area while maintaining architectural harmony.

Rear and Flank Fenestration Enhancements
Our team reconfigured the rear and flank elevations, optimising natural light and improving the property’s external character. These fenestration updates modernised the appearance and contributed to better energy efficiency.

Roof Light Installation
A new roof light was installed on the rear roof slope, filling the interior with natural daylight and creating a brighter, more welcoming atmosphere.

Rear Dormer Addition
We introduced a new rear dormer window to increase headroom and usable floor space on the upper level, enhancing both comfort and practicality.

Conversion to HMO
The property was fully converted into an 8-bedroom HMO, with a reimagined layout that maximises space efficiency and tenant comfort. The design ensures compliance with all relevant housing and safety standards.

Tenant-Focused Design
Each bedroom includes a private ensuite, ensuring comfort and privacy for all occupants. Shared facilities such as the kitchen feature multiple sinks and cooking stations to support convenient, simultaneous use. Additionally, a spacious outdoor balcony — accessible from the kitchen and dining area — provides a communal space that encourages social interaction and relaxation.

This project exemplifies how innovative design and thoughtful planning can transform a standard townhouse into a modern, functional, and visually refined living environment suited to contemporary urban lifestyles.

The result is a bright, energy-efficient, and tenant-focused living environment that enhances both the property’s value and the urban fabric of Rye Lane. This project highlights our ability to revitalise existing buildings while meeting modern living standards and regulatory compliance.
