Open-Plan Ground Floor, Beclands Road
Open-Plan Ground Floor, Beclands Road
Cramped ground floor opened into a bright open-plan living and kitchen space with hidden steelwork and upgraded insulation throughout.
- Load-bearing walls removed with hidden steelwork
- Chimney breast removed for a clean, open result
- Insulation upgraded to current standards
- Single point of contact for design and build
A typical narrow ground-floor footprint on Beclands Road was reworked into one open living and kitchen space. Load-bearing walls and a chimney breast were removed, with steelwork hidden inside the ceiling line for a clean finish.
Insulation was upgraded to current standards as part of the same package, because the right time to do it is when the walls are already open.
Open-plan refurbishments in Tooting
Tooting's terraces are narrow, deep and full of internal walls that made sense in 1900 and don't now. Opening up the ground floor is the single highest-impact change most of these houses can take.
The demanding part is the coordination rather than the steel: structural calculations, temporary propping, services rerouting, insulation, finishes. Beclands Road shows the result when those are sequenced properly under one team.
