Infill extension and replan of internal space

Brief

To provide a new infill extension design and remodel the space to gain an open plan kitchen & dining space. The existing property had 'dead' zones where rooms where effectively being used as passage ways and therefore the Client wanted to make better use of these spaces and bring more light into the house generally.

Proposals & design features

A new lean to vaulted mono pitch roof was proposed over the existing and new works with multiple roof lights within the structure. Multiple internal walls were removed to really open up the space and improve the general flow of the ground floor layout.

Construction
