This East Dulwich extension project, completed in collaboration with Plusrooms, transformed a traditional terraced house into a spacious and versatile family home.

A mono-pitched roof over the side return and a gable roof at the rear enabled a seamless expansion of the kitchen, dining, and living areas—each with a distinct purpose yet connected as one harmonious space.

Key features include a new utility room, WC and a cozy snug, achieved through smart spatial reconfiguration and the removal of interior chimney breasts to enhance flow and functionality.

The kitchen, living and dining space all have a feeling of having their own separate entity, whilst still allowing the whole family to still be intertwined.
