New Extension Brings Urban Cool
A contemporary building extension by Colbran & Wingrove has transformed the rear of this property, creating a fabulous design-led space in place of a uPVC conservatory which previously led off the dining room.
Removing the rear walls of the kitchen and the dining room has resulted in a light and airy open plan layout. With the inclusion of a centrally placed roof lantern and glazed bi-fold doors, the extension benefits from plenty of natural light but its thermal performance over the conservatory that once stood has now greatly improved.
A combination of accent and ambient lighting has been used to dramatic effect, drawing the eye to specific design features and providing a flexible lighting scheme which can be altered according to the time of day or occasion.
Beautiful cabinetry by our team has provided a clever room divide which partitions and creates a display area, yet also draws the eye through from one space to another. We also love the contrast that has resulted from a sharp finish throughout and the use of different textural surfaces; from reflective copper light fittings to an exposed brick wall.
