On this large wraparound kitchen extension we extended out into the side return, utilising a dead space, and into the rear garden. The result is a multifunctional kitchen and dining space that is open and bright. The extension roof is a gable design with a pitched roof in the side return. The benefit of this design is the height that is created, which makes the space feel so much bigger. Another feature is the angles created by the roof structure, particularly in the side return where glass is angled to give better light reach into the original space underneath the first floor. A large fixed glass panel was installed above the bifold doors on the exterior rear wall to create a feature and maximise light, whilst enhancing the connection with the outside. Most other roofs would typically create a lower ceiling, so in a large open space like this it is a real opportunity to be creative and add atmosphere.

This wraparound extension in Highgate (N6) transformed the ground floor into a bright, open-plan kitchen and dining space with a much stronger connection to the garden. The design combines new facing brickwork, large rooflights and a generous open layout with characterful finishes including parquet flooring, a shaker-style kitchen and timber details, creating a practical family space that still feels warm and individual.
