50 Woodside is a detached family house on a former garage plot behind 46 Alwyne Road, fronting Woodside between Nos. 49 and 51. Dmitro Development developed the house and was its contractor under a JCT agreement of 1 April 2019, building it from the underpinned basement to the zinc roof, and it was sold on completion in 2021.

Basement excavation, underpinning and waterproofing.

The plot was dug out about 4 metres for a full basement between two neighbouring houses, underpinned open-side in sequenced sections to protect them. Reinforced-concrete walls and slab followed, with front and rear lightwells, steel beams and a precast concrete ground floor, to Green Structural Engineering’s design.

Renlon specified the combined Type A and Type C waterproofing: Koster NB1 crystalline slurry, Delta cavity-drain wall and floor membranes, perimeter drainage and separate groundwater and foul-water pumps, with pump equipment from Packaged Pumps Systems.

Shield Double Glazing supplied the Smart Aluminium 300 windows and doors in grey 7106 with A-rated 28 mm sealed units, and with them the shaped windows, folding patio doors, front entrance door, walk-on glass and floor grilles.

Standing-seam zinc roof, solar panels and a green roof.

A natural-zinc standing-seam roof, EPDM flat roofs, rooflights, loft doors, roof glazing and a green roof. The planning energy statement modelled seven 315 W photovoltaic panels on the south-west slope; Savills’ completed specification lists a 7 kW installation.

A family house where the garages stood.

Merton granted planning permission 17/P3218 on 4 April 2018 to applicant Hillview Ventures, with Triptych PD as planning agent and Niche Architects as planning architect.

Noble and Noble Architects took the design through RIBA Stage 4 and acted as Principal Designer; Green Structural Engineering engineered the structure and basement; the group’s own design-and-build company was principal contractor for the basement and structure.

Syntegra Consulting advised on energy and daylight, The Mayhew Consultancy on trees, Cheyne Construction on health and safety, Butler & Young as Approved Inspector, Building LifePlans on technical review and latent-defect insurance, and SHW on party walls. Savills Wimbledon sold the house.
