This modern extension wraps around a post-war semi-detached house creating the perfect family space. Comprising an open plan kitchen, dining and living area it is connected to the garden through a glass wall opening onto a tiled terrace for al fresco dining.

The external walls are finished with render in deference to the original house, complemented by large areas of glazing and a roof raised above a continuous band of ‘clerestory’ windows that fills the space with changing daylight throughout the day.

In addition the extension includes a ground floor shower room and also freed up space in the existing house to accommodate two more bedrooms. It is built from prefabricated panels for speed of construction and high insulation levels for warmth.
