Contemporary Extension to a Clapham Flat – Designed and Project Managed by Draw Plans

This beautifully bright and inviting property in Clapham, London SW4, showcases a striking example of what thoughtful architectural design and project management can achieve. Draw Plans Architectural Designers were appointed to design and deliver a seamless rear extension to a ground-floor flat, transforming the home into a light-filled, contemporary residence perfect for modern living.

At the heart of the project was the addition of a pitched-roof rear extension, cleverly designed to maximise natural light through a series of generous skylights and fully glazed bifold doors. This new space became a stylish kitchen and dining area, blending effortlessly into the garden and creating a true indoor-outdoor connection.

The interior layout was reimagined for modern family life, with a clean, open-plan flow and practical sightlines. Pale flooring, white cabinetry, and minimalist fittings were selected to reflect natural light and create a sense of openness. The vaulted ceiling adds both volume and architectural interest, while a central island provides a functional focal point for cooking and gathering.

Throughout the flat, Draw Plans carefully balanced the character of the original building with a calm, contemporary aesthetic. The living room retains its period charm with a traditional fireplace and sash windows, while the bedrooms and bathroom feature modern touches such as soft colour palettes, streamlined fittings, and high-quality finishes.

Our team at Draw Plans handled every aspect of the process – from concept design to securing planning permission, building regulations approval, and on-site project management. The result is a thoughtfully extended home that feels cohesive, comfortable and full of natural light – an elegant solution to maximise both space and value.
