Extension – Whetstone, North London
This Whetstone home has been transformed with a modern, light-filled extension, designed to create a spacious, open-plan living environment. The homeowners wanted to extend their ground floor, improving flow, functionality, and natural light with the generous use of glazing to seamlessly connect the interior with the garden.
To ensure structural integrity, stability, and full compliance with Building Control, PorthouseDean provided expert structural calculations, supporting the steel beam reinforcements, load-bearing wall modifications, and foundation strengthening to guarantee a safe and efficient build.
