Project Overview:
This project involved a two-part transformation: a second storey addition above the kitchen and a single storey rear extension, designed to enhance both the footprint and functionality of the home. The goal was to create additional living space while improving flow and light throughout the ground floor.
The Brief
The client wanted to:
- Extend the kitchen area to allow for more usable space downstairs.
- Add a second floor above the kitchen to accommodate a new bedroom.
- Replace an outdated rear conservatory with a more durable, insulated extension featuring bi-fold doors to better connect indoors and outdoors.
- Carry out internal renovation works to support the new layout.
Our Work
Structural Modifications:
- Built a two-storey side extension to the left side of the property.
- Removed the existing conservatory and constructed a flat-roofed rear extension with bi-fold doors.
- Integrated new structural supports to allow open-plan connection between the kitchen and lounge.
Interior Upgrades:
- Reconfigured room layouts upstairs to allow for an extra bedroom.
- Re-plastered and insulated interior walls.
- Installed new flooring and electricals where required.
