The Brief

Our client’s primary goal was to establish a more flowing ground floor layout, connecting their house to a large private garden, an ideal setting for their new growing family. The existing kitchen, initially isolated from the rest of the ground floor, was reimagined to enhance social interactions whilst entertaining. Vaulted side and rear extensions elevates the space whilst a large linear rooflight creates the effect of a glazed roof over the kitchen area flooding in more natural light.

Within this unique modern space, we added distinctive touches, including a recessed wine cellar and a one-of-a-kind timber-lined window seat. Externally, our builders crafted an extension that seamlessly marries stock brick and dark render, resulting in a visually striking yet harmonious addition to the property.

Our Challenge

  1. The kitchen was almost completely isolated from the rest of the house and needed reworking.
  2. The client had some very specific features they wanted to include as part of their brief.
  3. The exterior appearance of the extension was as important as the interior .

What We Delivered

Redesigned the flow of the first floor, ensuring the kitchen flowed better with the house for living and socialising.

Vaulted read and side extension roof with built in skylight delivered a light and modern feel.

Included modern touches like the sunken wine cellar and wood lined window seat.

Delivered an attractive exterior, mixing stock brick and dark render.

 

Favourite Feature

The window seat and reading nook is a particular favourite of the customers (followed by the sunk in wine cellar!).
