Rediscovering views

Extending a back extension.

Why is this special?

Bringing daylight, views and a sense of connection to a house already extended twice.

The Challenge

This 1930’s semi benefitted from an extra wide plot, and already had two back extensions side by side, resulting in a dark almost internal dining area whilst the extended kitchen just meant a long walk from hob to sink. New owners of wanted to a bright open family space.

Our Solution

What was needed was to find the light and views. The actual extension is just that Crittall glazed bay. Adding a strategically placed skylight and taking out the wall between the bay and kitchen then shares the light and garden views in all directions. Clever storage off the hall gets the laundry out of earshot and moving the back door adds a whole extra sitting room and much more efficient ‘U’ shaped kitchen for just half a room of extra space built. Still not as deep as next door!

The Results

An amazing open plan Kitchen, dining and living room that is fully connected to garden without los-ing essential storage in the kitchen.
