This is a design for extending a detached house to include a new kitchen and dining area. The clients wanted to keep the existing picture window to the stairway on the first floor; the unusual roof shape has therefore been designed around this existing window. This cut out section of roof also gave us an opportunity to introduce rooflights and a clerestory window above the dining area.

 

The extension opens out onto a new terrace via a five leaf folding/sliding aluminium door. The terrace itself is raised above the garden and guarded by a frameless safety glass balustrade; this was to make sure that our clients had uninterrupted views out from the kitchen and dining table.

 

Extensive landscaping to the garden includes areas of lawn at different levels; hard and soft landscaping and a walkway/trellis.
