Contemporary Open Plan Kitchen Extension

About: Kitchen Extension To Provide Additional Family Space

Location: Wiltshire

Project type: Private Residential

Status: Complete

With a requirement for a larger space for a growing family, we were asked to provide design options for an addition to the rear of the building, replacing the existing cramped dark kitchen and opening up the inefficient cellular layout of the existing building.

In contrast to the traditional pitched roof masonry buildings prevalent in the surrounding area, a bold contemporary timber clad addition was chosen to create a contrasting addition. 

Featuring a flat roof with two large frameless roof lights, crisp modern fenestration frames views into the garden beyond, providing a comfortable communal space for family life, cooking, dining, and relaxing.

A section of the existing workshop was allocated to a utility room, allowing daily services to be relocated out of the open plan space removing clutter and noise. The addition of a ground floor WC improves function and circulation of the building.
