Restoring and Extending a Listed Heritage Property in a Live Residential Setting

Rahoon House required sensitive restoration and extension works to a listed heritage property, balancing modern residential requirements with the preservation of historic character. The project involved demolition of a later rear extension, construction of two new sympathetic extensions, and full internal reconfiguration to create four high-end apartments while protecting original fabric.

The Challenge

The listed status of Rahoon House required strict adherence to conservation requirements, alongside complex structural repairs and sensitive extension works. The live housing estate location added further constraints, requiring careful control of access, noise, and deliveries to minimise disruption to residents.

The Solution

BKRN implemented a carefully sequenced construction strategy, safely demolishing the later rear extension and integrating two new extensions through structural reinforcement. Close liaison with heritage authorities and the local community ensured compliance, quality, and smooth project progression throughout the build.
