A recently completed single-storey rear extension, transforming a small, dark kitchen into a light and generous kitchen/diner with a much stronger connection to the garden.
The aim was not simply to make the kitchen bigger, but to create a space that could work as the heart of the home — somewhere to cook, eat, spend time together and enjoy the garden throughout the day.
It’s always particularly rewarding to see a project like this finished and to see how the spaces we develop with clients can change the way they experience and use their home.
A simple extension, but a significant change to the way this house works.

Our Somerset project is continuing on site and the spaces are beginning to take shape. Spaces that have existed only as drawings and ideas are gradually becoming real, and for clients, this can be the point where the scale and impact of the changes really start to sink in.
Part of my role is helping clients navigate that process — talking through what they’re seeing, answering questions and making sure the decisions made along the way continue to work for them.
Another step closer to the finished home.

Following on from last week, here are the photos that show the difference made by adding two steel beams to knock out the internal walls of this semi. The transformation is dramatic, creating a space that is flexible and useful, all without adding an extension!

Sometimes an extension isn’t the right answer and it’s better use of the space that is needed. This semi had previously been poorly extended but had a jumble of spaces that served as a kitchen and dining room. Adding a couple of steel beams allowed us to take out the internal walls and locating the utility in the middle allowed the kitchen and dining spaces to make the most of the light.

A living space that opens directly to the garden.
Viewed from the rear garden, the vaulted living room connects to the patio through large sliding doors, allowing the house to open fully to the outside. The patio is set flush with the internal floor level — an important detail that helps blur the boundary between inside and out.
