Project case study
Glass Room Extension
This glass room and kitchen extension to a detached property in Blackburn involved the removal of an existing conservatory and re-configuration of the dining, living and kitchen spaces. The project involved numerous design iterations which explored different design solutions. It was particuarly important to the client to conceal structural steelwork and achieve a clean-line aesthetic. The existing spaces were dark, cramped and under-used. The design brief was to open up the internal spaces to create one space for living, eating and entertaining. The second element of the brief involved creating a link with the landscaped garden. Our clients are passionate about their existing spaces and we enjoy working with them to develop design proposals for their glass room extensions and kitchen layouts.
Glass Room Extension
The glass room extension involved the removal of an existing conservatory, which was small, cold and damp. Conservatories are difficult to heat, maintain and clean. They are becoming less and less popular. This created a series of problems which need a resolution in order to make a rear glass room extension possible. It is important to properly re-design the existing spaces internally in order for the additional space to work with the existing house. Several iterations of the design were required before a final layout was developed.
Kitchen Ideas
A large element of the project was the re-design of the kitchen. A highly detailed and bespoke kitchen maker was appointed to develop a suitable layout. The units were hand made and installed on site by a specialist team of carpenters.
