The project in detail.
A practical kitchen and dining space
This Kings Heath design proposal looks at a common ambition: a little more space to cook, eat and spend time together in an ordinary semi-detached home. A compact rear addition creates the setting for a kitchen-diner without making the extension dominate the house or garden.
Straightforward brickwork and a clean roofline
The single-storey design pairs warm brick with a restrained dark roof edge. Garden-facing sliding doors bring light and views into the room, with solid brick at either side. A rooflight offers another source of daylight toward the centre of the proposed space.
Making a smaller footprint work harder
The design focus is on usable space. Positioning a dining table near the garden and keeping circulation clear could make the addition feel generous in daily use. A small patio connects the room to the lawn without turning the whole garden into paving.
