Newcomen Street, London, SE1 1UL
Proposal
The proposed development involves the demolition of the existing timber lean-to structure and the construction of a new glazed single-storey extension on the same footprint. The extension will form part of the proposed new ground floor of Addison House and will provide an informal study space for students of King’s College London. The design incorporates a fully glazed structure with a pitched roof, creating a light and open environment that enhances the existing courtyard setting while improving functionality and accessibility for users.
