utilising space: rear extension to garden room

hove, east sussex

rear extension

Situated within Hove, East Sussex this single-storey rear extension replaced the existing conservatory and lifted the kitchen/ dining experience into a haven of light and warmth. The project is a beaming example of how contemporary design can be achieved through Permitted Development. The angled roof was influenced by the height restrictions of the Permitted Development legislation, and partnered with the aluminium double glazed sliding doors creates a modern, welcoming dining area filled with an abundance of natural light all year round.

Underfloor heating provides energy efficient warmth throughout the extension, with concrete floors retaining and storing the heat whilst matching counter tops provide a contemporary finish. The window seat and study space were installed to replace the existing kitchen area and were linked to the new living / dining area; providing a separate cove for all members of the family to enjoy.

garden room

The clients utilised the spacious outside space by installing a garden room, creating a comforting and relaxing working environment separate from the bustle of family life that can be enjoyed all times of year for professional and entertainment purposes. A log burner fireplace was installed for natural warmth and ensures a stable supply of heat throughout the room whilst the client uses the space to work from home.
