A split level rear extension, clad with black zinc and cedar battens. Narrow frame sliding doors create a flush opening between inside and out, while a glazed corner window offers oblique views across the new terrace. Inside, the kitchen is set level with the main house, whilst the dining area is level with the garden, which creates a fabulous split level interior. This project has featured in Grand Designs and Living Etc magazines. Photographer: David Butler

An amazing two level glass extension. We've combined traditional elements of this period property in Knightsbridge with contemporary design to create a real wow factor. Now the neighbours want us to design and refurbish their property! It has a stunning living wall too - see other photos.

Design ideas for a contemporary glass and rear extension in London.

In the garden, a pair of outdoor speakers resistant to any weather along with a trampoline embedded into the ground make this a wonderful family and entertaining area.

Photographer: Will Pryce This Grade 2 listed house in Barnsbury, Islington was renovated and extended by Dominic McKenzie Architects. The existing property consisted of a number of small rooms with a lack of hierarchy and little visual connection to the garden. These problems were addressed through the double height rear extension which unites the Ground floor and Basement. The extension’s bespoke 5m French doors allow the house’s lower levels to be completely opened to the garden. The roof extension adds an additional floor to the house and contains the master bedroom, shower and wc. The traditional mansard form matches neighbouring houses in the Conservation Area, but is lightened through the addition of two roof lights. The interior is lined with painted tongue and groove timber referring to artists’ garrets.
