Hi yes that helps to explain it. Originally our architect planned 2 small lanterns then we considered 1 large lantern. Now we are having last minute thoughts about having 1 or 2 flat roof windows! Our extension will be 4 metres deep but fairly long. The majority of the extension is facing south east. We are fortunate enough to have open plan views to the south east and we are not overlooking neighbours in either of the other directions. However on the south east facing wall we were thinking of having a thin but long slot of glass which would be near to the top (as this will be the kitchen area) because the area is not nice enough outside to incorporate a sliding door or patio area. So to the north east we are thinking of a sliding patio door (in the 4m wall) into our garden, and to the south east as much glazing as we can, to give our kitchen and dining area a great view across the countryside. Does that make sense?

Thanks for the comments to date! We're thinking of going white counters (prob with speck) and darker matt grey perhaps RAL 7015 Slate Grey or RAL 7016 Anthracite) for the island and lower sink run cabinet doors. Then either all wood doors for the oven wall (although we can't get handleless so might not be ideal) or the off-white matt and keep the wood surround and drawer fronts.. An idea to make the island counter less bright is to do as in the image below. We could use the same Grey Oak wood as elsewhere by double boarding and edging it. Similarly, I think we could get the Quartz people to create a deeper counter (as in pic) so we have a different level between the two mediums. Does anyone think this could work? Also, the upper units on the sink run wall are still undecided. As is, they stand out as are deeper than the steel column (to right) and aren't symmetrical (one to left, two to right). Does anyone have any ideas on how to design this section, especially the gap where the steel is? Right now we are thinking of just replacing with open shelves but if there's a more stylish way of redesigning this section, I'd appreciate any ideas!

@Wumi thank you taking time out for commenting. Answer to your queries: How do you currently use the your ground floor rooms? BKG: At the moment we spaced out! Meaning - my son normally in the front room ( PS4/football). The three others just sit in a line formation in the lounge. In Lounge we tend to use two seats ( highlighted red for most use and up to blue to very rare use). I think because it feels like we are in a narrow corridor- not a great family experience WD: How would you like to use them? (What would you like to achieve with the reconfiguration) BKG. I think a quote that I saw on this site sums it perfectly; "I like the house but like love it as a home. On paper the house sounds fantastic, but ground floor is not functional in terms of experience. Having a room long and narrow everything we purchase has to be clinical. With narrow long lounge, when we have guests its not functional, at times people seem to stand in in the wall between the lounge and kitchen. Not a great experience I like sitting in a square formation which i feel enhance the interactions. Wider/squarer rooms, I think brings so many options WD: Is there a wall between the kitchen and lounge? BKG: Yes a wall between Kitchen and (through lounge/extension at back). P>s the Kitchen ceilings or of a different height (due to a previse side extension) WD: Where is the front entrance? BKG: Front door of the house (looking from the garage inwards, direction of stairs( i will update diagram. Again thank you for your repsponse. Regards

Hi Laura, That looks like it will be a fantastic addition of space to your home. I think that a change in levels or a low-level dividing wall is a great feature in an open plan space, as it gives clear division of spaces but allows transmission of natural light. This is sometimes called ‘broken plan’ and there are lots of examples and information on Houzz like this article:https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/how-to-design-a-broken-plan-space-stsetivw-vs~119315147 So by adding a railing or low height wall to separate the lounge and dining spaces, you could get views of your garden from the living room whilst still having somewhere to place your furniture up against. Its best to keep the ceiling level if you can and use a rooflight and glazing above the bifold to bring light all the way deep into the lounge space. And keep the steps to 1-2m wide to make the most of space either side of them. I would also recommend 2 other changes: reduce the size of the bifold to add more kitchen units with a window, and reduce the size of the utility to make the central space into something usable. Something like a library if you like to read, or a drinks bar if you like to entertain or record player and vinyl collection Please let me know what you think? And I wish you all the best with your extension project!! Phill

Hi what a fabulous opening - would you please be able to tell me the size of the sliding doors and the opening? I'm looking to create an 18ft opening with 3x 6ft x 8ft high sliding doors - this looks similar. Many thanks Ian
