Your design walkthrough

Carl explains.

A personal walkthrough of the ideas, the ground-floor changes and how the spaces work together.

One connected space at the back.

A new rear extension gives the kitchen, dining and family spaces a clear relationship.

Extension

Replace two rooms with one useful space.

Before The kitchen and conservatory occupy separate rear spaces, reached through the dining room.

After Remove both rear structures and build a new single-storey kitchen and dining extension. The 23.10 m² space has an island, fitted storage and doors to the garden.

Family living

Open the dining room into the kitchen.

After A wide opening connects the former dining room to the extension. It becomes an 18.24 m² family sitting room, while the separate front lounge remains.

Circulation

Go straight from the hall to the kitchen.

After Use part of the former office to create a direct route into the kitchen. Everyday trips no longer need to pass through the family seating area.

Utility

Give laundry its own place.

After A compact 2.30 m² utility sits beside the new route, keeping laundry separate from the kitchen.

Retained The front lounge, bedrooms and existing bathroom facilities stay in place.
