Unlocking rare architectural potential within a sensitive East London Conservation Area, this bespoke mansard extension transforms an urban residence into an elegant, light-filled pied-à-terre. Capitalising on recent local planning policy updates permitting roof additions, the design introduces a serene, elevated sanctuary high above the streetscape.

Crafted as a classic mansard structure to harmonise with the historic rooftop landscape, the new level houses an intimate primary bedroom suite with a luxurious en-suite bathroom. Handcrafted, bespoke joinery lines the space to conceal storage effortlessly, maintaining a clean, tranquil aesthetic while maximising every square metre of internal space.

At the far end, floor-to-ceiling glass draws in natural light and opens onto a private balcony. Designed as a secluded vantage point for evening relaxation, this outdoor retreat captures sweeping, panoramic views across the city skyline towards Canary Wharf.
