Transforming a 'normal' house into a contemporary home perfectly tailored to modern family life.

The design focuses on a single-storey ground-floor extension spanning the entire rear of the existing building. This extension introduces a fresh architectural element and facilitates an open-plan layout, which is ideal for bringing the family together and sharing experiences.

Project Details:

Location: Chesterfield

Status: Design Development

Scope: Gound Floor Extension and Internal Reconfiguration

We embrace the client's vision for a contemporary living space; our design prioritises light, space, and seamless indoor-outdoor integration.

Along with the new structure, extensive ground-floor reconfiguration enhances the home's flow and functionality, creating a harmonious environment that adapts to the family's evolving needs.

Central to the design ethos is blurring boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. The extension opens to the garden, inviting the family to move effortlessly between the two areas. This connection with nature enhances the aesthetic appeal and enriches daily life, offering moments of tranquillity amidst the bustle of modern living.

New Kitchen: The hub of the new extension design - a space where you can enjoy cooking and socialising with family and friends.

Family Dining Space: A welcoming area that encourages shared meals and meaningful conversations, fostering bonds that endure beyond the dining table.

Living Area: A versatile space that serves as a place where you can equally relax or enjoy entertainment.

This project goes beyond just changing the structure; it reflects our client's desire to embrace modern living.

In line with the contemporary aesthetic, the extension features a striking combination of materials. Crisp white render lends a sense of freshness and sophistication, while extensive, high-quality glazing floods the interior with natural light, blurring the boundaries between inside and out. A well-insulated new flat roof ensures comfort and energy efficiency, underpinning the project's commitment to sustainability.
