5-Unit Apartment Conversion, Purley, Surrey

This development in Purley, Surrey, involves the conversion and extension of an existing property to create five high-quality 1-2 bedroom apartments, thoughtfully designed to enhance both the building’s usability and architectural character.

The scheme includes a two-storey side extension, a single-storey rear extension, and a loft conversion with carefully positioned dormers to maximise internal space while maintaining the integrity of the original structure. These additions have been designed to respect the scale and rhythm of the surrounding streetscape, with materials and detailing chosen to complement the existing architecture.

Internally, each apartment benefits from open-plan layouts, generous glazing for natural light, and efficient use of space to support modern living. The design prioritises functionality and comfort, with private entrances where possible and shared amenity space to the rear.

The conversion offers a sensitive yet contemporary response to suburban intensification, delivering much-needed housing while preserving and enhancing the residential character of the area.
