The clients came to us wanting to expand and modernise. Although their home already had a rear extension, the kitchen remained small and tucked away, so we extended further, opened up internal walls, and totally reimagined the flow.

We built a new roof over the extended area and added a central roof lantern, which floods the space with light by day. Cleverly, the client installed perimeter lighting around the lantern so it becomes a feature at night too. At the rear, bi‑fold doors and a window frame beautiful views of the garden.

By slightly increasing the footprint and removing partition walls, we turned a once compartmented layout into one open, flowing kitchen/dining/family hub which is now the heart of the home.

As the clients said: “Pam provided helpful input on what we could do with the space we had. The process through local authorities was handled well with all questions promptly answered. The resulting design has enabled the family to have more space in the current climate when we are all at home.” — Mr & Mrs Bamforth
