Victorian villa with kindergarten on the ground floor. The extension improves the quality of the spaces

Francesco Pierazzi's architectural studio is the protagonist of the extension of a large two-storey suburban villa, with a nursery school on the ground floor and residential spaces on the upper floor, improving the usability of the interior spaces

The site in question is located in a green and quiet area of London's Subirton district. The large suburban villa is being expanded in order to improve the interior spaces and their usability, and to provide the kindergarten with a kitchen and canteen
