Side infill extension with structural glass roof

To this property, the home was extended to the side to enlarge that central kitchen space while retaining the room at the back. Within the side extension, aluminium casement doors were used to access the patio and garden from the side return. This allowed beautiful levels of light into the property and illuminated the kitchen.

These casement doors follow the lines of the property and thus add length to the vision from the front of the house all the way down to the back of the garden and beyond. This method is highly successful in terrace renovations to introduce more natural light throughout the ground floor as well as providing a stronger connection to the outdoors.

The project entailed the removal of part of an external wall to create a large kitchen, which now achieves an open-plan living area that’s more suited towards modern living.

The kitchen is now more spacious and features an elegant kitchen island that looks out into the garden through the French doors. The frameless roof glazing is installed diagonally above the kitchen island which offers the homeowners beautiful views of the sky while preparing meals in the kitchen.

Overall this project was modest yet highly beneficial to improve the light and space in this rear kitchen, but also to repurpose a disused outdoor area.
