Mayfair is synonymous with elegance, exclusivity, and architectural grandeur. From handsome Georgian townhouses to discreet mews homes and luxury apartments, this celebrated district offers some of the most desirable addresses in the capital. For homeowners in Mayfair who wish to expand without compromising style or structure, a wraparound extension offers a sophisticated and highly effective way to gain valuable space at ground level.
At Herko, we design and deliver bespoke wraparound extensions that honour the architectural integrity of each home while meeting the needs of modern living.
What Is a Wraparound Extension?
A wraparound extension typically combines a rear extension with a side return extension, creating an L-shaped addition that dramatically increases internal floor space — often transforming the entire ground floor layout.
This type of extension is ideal for:
- Enlarging the kitchen or creating an open-plan dining area
- Introducing natural light with large format glazing or rooflights
- Enhancing flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces
- Accommodating utility rooms, pantries, or additional living zones
In high-value areas like Mayfair, where floor space is precious and outdoor areas are often compact, a wraparound extension provides a way to maximise a home’s potential without altering its external appearance from the street.
Why Extend in Mayfair?
Every square metre matters in Mayfair. Whether you’re restoring a period property or upgrading a contemporary residence, improving internal layout can have a significant impact — both in terms of lifestyle and property value.
A thoughtfully designed wraparound extension can bring more natural light, a better connection to outdoor courtyards or gardens, and a more cohesive use of space. For homeowners who entertain, work from home, or simply want to enjoy a more spacious and adaptable living environment, this type of extension can be truly transformative.
At Herko, we understand the expectations that come with working in prestigious areas — and we pride ourselves on delivering spaces that are not only functional, but beautifully considered in every detail.
Planning with Precision
Mayfair’s status as a historic and architecturally protected area means that planning must be approached with care. Many properties are listed or lie within conservation areas, and any changes to the exterior — even at ground level — may require approval.
Herko works with specialist designers and consultants when needed to ensure that every extension is aligned with planning regulations and heritage sensitivities. Our focus is on minimising disruption while delivering exceptional, high-end results that stand the test of time.
Crafted for Contemporary Living
The beauty of a wraparound extension lies not just in the extra space, but in how it transforms the way you live. At Herko, we create interiors that feel light, flowing, and intelligently zoned — combining architectural flair with everyday practicality.
Whether the goal is a statement kitchen, a serene family lounge, or a seamless indoor-outdoor living space, we design around your lifestyle and aspirations. Every finish, fitting, and feature is carefully considered, ensuring your new space enhances your home in both form and function.
Subtle Expansion, Seamless Integration
In a place as distinctive as Mayfair, every architectural move must be thoughtful. A wraparound extension — when done well — feels like a natural continuation of the home, offering enhanced living without altering the essence of what makes the property special.
At Herko, we bring together planning knowledge, design sensibility, and construction expertise to create extensions that are as refined as they are practical — delivered with care, clarity, and craftsmanship.
