A family of 4 living in a semi-detached house in a conservation area were not comfortable the small size living area; awkward kitchen area; lack of dinning space and utility. Our involvement was to extend to the rear of both the original house and the existing garage extension. we decided to open up the existing internally into the proposed extension and tried to connect the internal floor area with the garden. The family were delighted as they achieved an open plan living/dining/kitchen area with the Utility and shower tucked behind the existing garage.
