This two-storey extension has been carefully designed to enhance both space and functionality while seamlessly integrating with the existing property. The project adds generous new living accommodation on the ground floor, with well-proportioned bedrooms and bathrooms above, creating a cohesive and practical layout for modern family life.
The extension respects the scale, character, and materials of the original building, ensuring a balanced and harmonious appearance. Large openings and thoughtfully positioned windows maximise natural light, while the internal layout improves flow and connection between old and new spaces.
Overall, the design delivers a substantial increase in usable floor area, future-proofing the home while maintaining architectural integrity and visual appeal.

The rear extension was thoughtfully designed to expand the internal living space, meeting the needs of a growing family. The clients envisioned an open-plan kitchen-diner with a cozy seating area, complemented by a separate lounge for moments of relaxation. The addition also included an extra bedroom, providing the flexibility necessary for the family’s future needs. In keeping with the architectural style of the existing dwelling, all materials were carefully chosen to ensure the extension blended seamlessly with the original structure. Sustainability was a key consideration throughout, with energy-efficient materials and methods incorporated to minimize environmental impact. The project received full planning approval and was executed with a clear focus on enhancing both the home's functionality and aesthetic appeal.

This project centers on the thoughtful extension and enhancement of a traditional cottage, designed to improve the internal layout and better suit modern living while preserving the charm and character of the original home.
The proposed works include a sensitive rear extension to reconfigure and optimise the internal floor plan—enhancing natural light, flow, and functionality for everyday use. In parallel, an existing outbuilding is being converted to create a self-contained space featuring a bedroom and a garden kitchen room, ideal for guests or extended family.
The design carefully considers the setting and scale of the cottage, ensuring that all new elements sit harmoniously within the existing site. High-quality materials and detailing have been selected to reflect the character of the original buildings, while providing improved usability and connection to the surrounding garden.
This project is a celebration of rural character and modern comfort, creating a more flexible and enjoyable living environment for years to come.

The client's aim is to enhance the ground floor of the existing dwelling by enlarging the kitchen and creating a new utility room. To maximize natural light, the roof of the rear extension has been designed using a glass roofing system, which will make the interior feel more open and bright.

This project aimed to enhance the ground floor layout of the house. A rear extension was added, allowing for a more spacious kitchen-diner, the inclusion of a ground floor toilet, and the addition of a functional utility room.
