Newton Park Place / ROAR

ROAR have completed a sustainable & natural material-led extension to a historic Victorian property in Chislehurst, South East London. With a brief for a minimal retreat for homeowner Kelly Johnson and her family, the oak extension adds 30sqm to the property for £450,000 plus VAT. A Grade II Listed property located in the Chislehurst Conservation Area, Newton Park Place was designed by Victorian architect Ernest Newton and characterized by it's Vernacular Revival style, asymmetrical plan, and irregular fenestration. Rather than imitate the traditional Victorian architecture, as had been done previously with alterations in 2007, ROAR designed the new timber framed extension to be purposefully different - a modern addition that matches the contemporary garden and allows for a large extension to the home's interiors.
