We were approached by a developer to convert his existing 4 bedroom residential unit into multiple apartments, and we recommended to extend in order to maximise the rental potential of his property. 

We proposed to retain the existing retail unit on the ground floor, however, extend vertically by means of a mansard style additional storey, and to the rear, almost doubling the existing floor area and increasing rental potential by a huge 500%! The site, being located in a prime commuter area, was sure to have a great level of interest from potential future occupants, and the site constraints, including the need to protect neighbouring amenities, guided us throughout the design process, looking to squeeze every square meter out of the plot as possible.
