Expanding family living through contemporary extensions, vaulted spaces and additional bedrooms.

The brief

The client wanted to significantly increase the size and functionality of their home to better accommodate the needs of a growing family. The existing layout lacked space for modern open-plan living, while the upper floors offered limited bedroom accommodation. The brief focused on creating a brighter, more spacious home without the need to relocate.

The proposed two-storey extension transformed the property by introducing a generous open-plan kitchen and dining area at the rear, illuminated by two roof lights that filled the space with natural daylight. At the front of the property, a new vaulted ceiling created a striking sense of volume, while a loft conversion provided two additional bedrooms, maximising the home’s potential and creating a flexible layout for family life.

Scope of Work

Our involvement covered the complete architectural design and technical development of a comprehensive home extension and loft conversion, from concept design through to planning and Building Regulations approval.

The project included measured surveys, design development, planning submissions and the preparation of detailed construction drawings. The two-storey extension created a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area to the rear of the property, enhanced by two roof lights that maximised natural daylight and strengthened the connection between the interior and garden. At the front of the home, a vaulted ceiling was introduced to create a dramatic architectural feature and improve the sense of space within the existing accommodation. The loft conversion added two well-proportioned bedrooms, increasing the property’s overall capacity while ensuring the new additions integrated seamlessly with the original structure. Careful consideration was given throughout to structural design, energy efficiency, natural light and the overall flow of the home.
