Planning permission was obtained for this compact house extension in late 2019, and work was completed on site in 2020. The extension increases the master bedroom on the first floor, adding a Juliet balconied full-height window looking over the garden. The ground floor replaces a conservatory joining up and rearranging the ground floor accommodation whilst providing garden facing kitchen, dining and additional living space. Twin skylights, side windows and garden-facing window and sliding doors ensure the room is light-filled in different ways as the sun progresses through the day. Internal glazed doors and sliding pocket doors provide separation when needed whilst enabling the ground floor to be visually open.
The project included a small domestic lift to assist the client and enable them to stay in the two-storey accommodation. The lift is included in such a way that it can be dismantled and removed in future and the house readily converted.
You can see a short video of this small extension here.
