The kitchen remains the heart of any home but due to a cultural shift in lifestyle it is becoming more important that it is a multifunctional space. As such, many people opt for semi-glazed kitchen extensions, creating a light, bright, and spacious room that doesn’t only serve as a place to cook but can also be shared with family and friends.
Often incorporating an informal dining area and some comfortable seating, these spaces truly are ‘living’ rooms and tend to become the centre of family life, and a fantastic area for entertaining due to their indoor/outdoor feel.
By extending in this way, even the smallest of spaces can be transformed into amazing places. Shaded corners, side returns and even lower ground floor basements can benefit from the addition of a roof lantern, or wide, opening French doors.
Architectural solutions in suburban areas need careful planning and can bring their challenges when it comes to obtaining consent. Knowledge, experience and ingenuity are required to successfully design and implement a build such as this, but the end result is certainly worth the extra effort.
A little extra square footage can dramatically improve the light, space and flow of your home. A large kitchen extension never fails to provide that sought after ‘wow’ factor.
