Contemporary L-Shaped Extension

This contemporary L-shaped extension is a stunning addition that combines sleek modern design with thoughtful use of natural materials. The extension is characterised by extensive glazing, allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the open-plan kitchen and living area, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The strategic placement of large windows and sliding doors offers views of the garden, while also enhancing the sense of space and connection with the outdoors.

The L-shaped layout is both practical and aesthetically pleasing, wrapping around a newly formed external courtyard. This intimate outdoor space, situated between the new kitchen and an existing wall of the house, creates a sheltered, private area for relaxation and dining. The courtyard is designed as an extension of the living space, featuring a stylish patio with seating that makes it ideal for outdoor entertaining or enjoying quiet moments of tranquillity. The smooth transition between the indoor and outdoor areas is enhanced by the continuation of stone paving, which mirrors the use of stone inside the extension, creating a harmonious flow throughout the space.

The incorporation of stone within the extension adds texture and depth, complementing the sleek glass surfaces with a more grounded, organic feel. This use of natural materials not only adds a sense of warmth but also ties the extension back to the surrounding environment, giving it a timeless quality that balances contemporary design with a sense of permanence.

At the far end of the garden, a beautifully designed garden house adds an additional layer of functionality to the overall layout. Featuring a combination of stone and black timber cladding, the garden house offers a striking contrast to the main extension while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. This versatile space can serve as a studio, home office, or guest accommodation, providing a peaceful retreat away from the main home. Its blend of natural materials and modern design mirrors the extension’s theme of seamless integration between the built environment and the outdoors, making it a standout feature of the garden.
