This contemporary open-plan rear extension reimagines a traditional 1940s detached house, creating a modern home tailored for multi-generational living. The design is driven by a strong connection to the garden, using light, proportion, and transparency to redefine the relationship between inside and out.

Minimal-profile, soft-sliding glazing was carefully specified to reduce visual barriers and frame views of the mature landscape, allowing the garden to become an integral part of the interior experience throughout the year. When fully opened, the kitchen and living space extends seamlessly onto the terrace, supporting informal outdoor dining and family gatherings.

Extensive areas of glazing draw daylight deep into the plan, transforming the centre of the house and enhancing the sense of openness, clarity, and spatial continuity across the ground floor.
