This private dwelling house sought to have a Kitchen and Dining Room extension to double the size of their current Kitchen. This project infilled the gaps left from previous extensions and provided a much more useable family sized Kitchen and Dining Room, seamlessly linked to the Living Area by opening up the existing rear window. Internally, this project looked to provide intricate architectural detail, proposing a shadow gap timber frame around the newly opened window connection.

The extension looked to provide contrasting materials to the existing dwelling, proposed standing seam Zinc cladding with a mono pitch roof which featured 2 large roof lights to maximise daylight. An aluminium pivot door was proposed along with level access decking to truly connect the outside with the inside.

Designing closely with the homeowners, their input was invaluable and assisted us in designing them the perfect space in which they would spend quality family time and enhancing their City Centre home.
