This extremely narrow house in East Dulwich is a so-called half house, sharing its entrance with the adjacent house, but otherwise being a terrace. The challenge was to create a space that feels generous and connects well with the tight spaces inside. The bathroom was moved from the lean-to at the rear to the first floor to unlock the rear of the house and create an open-plan kitchen-diner. Photo: Fredrik Rissom

Our ’Corten Extension’ project; new open plan kitchen-diner as part of a side-return and rear single storey extension and remodel to a Victorian terrace. The Corten blends in beautifully with the existing brick and the roof form respects the line of the old kitchen and coal-house.

The Corten blends in beautifully with the existing brick whilst the plan form kicks out towards the garden to create a small sheltered seating area.

A modest single storey extension to an attractive property in the crescent known as Hilltop in Linlithgow Bridge. The scheme design seeks to create open plan living space with kitchen and dining amenity included. Large glazed sliding doors create connection to a new patio space which is level with the floor of the house. A glass corner window provides views out to the garden, whilst a strip of rooflights allows light to penetrate deep inside. A new structural opening is formed to open the extension to the existing house and create a new open plan hub for family life. The new extension is provided with underfloor heating to complement the traditional radiators within the existing property. Materials are deliberately restrained, white render, timber cladding and alu-clad glazed screens to create a clean contemporary aesthetic.

A sleek single storey extension that has been purposfully designed to contrast yet compliment a traditional detached house in Sheffield. The extension uses black external timber cladding with the inner faces of the projecting frame enhanced with vibrant Cedar cladding to create a bold finish that draws you in from the garden
