Hood House

Nestled in the leafy suburb of Sheen, London, this elegant semi-detached home has been reimagined through a modern rear and loft extension. The ground-floor addition features a sleek, white-rendered volume with expansive Crittall-style glazing and black vertical cladding, creating a bold yet harmonious contrast to the original brickwork.

Fully opening tri-fold sliding doors establish a seamless level threshold between the open-plan kitchen and paved terrace, dissolving boundaries between indoors and out. Inside, a luxurious bespoke kitchen with dark cabinetry, marble-effect island, and tiled floors basks in natural light, while discreet internal glazing maintains sightlines to the original house.

The loft conversion introduces two light-filled bedrooms beneath a pitched roof, crowned with discreetly integrated solar panels that power an efficient air-source heat pump (ASHP) system. New windows, high-performance insulated walls, and concealed air conditioning ensure exceptional thermal comfort and acoustic privacy.

Outside, a re-landscaped garden with lush planting, a curved lawn, and pathway enhances the connection to nature. This sustainable, light-filled family home exemplifies contemporary living while respecting its historic context—delivering style, efficiency, and serenity in equal measure.
