Stunning views to enjoy day-in and day-out

Where space is considered a luxury, building upwards is a great way to maximise a living area without having to relocate out of your favourite city. This double-storey extension was carried out in East London, enlarging a home in an area where sizeable properties are hard to get your hands on.

Flooding the room with bright natural light



This property situated in a quiet corner of Surrey was extended to create more space for a growing family, enhancing their existing property to fit their changing situation. The use of floor to ceiling glass fronts allow the sunlight to come beaming in and fill the home with natural light, helping to boost moods with the rays of sunshine. The simplistic first-floor balcony creates a new space for homeowners to enjoy all year round, with an overhang to offer a level of protection from any rain showers.

Open plan conversions are ideal for families, allowing everyone to interact freely and making the ideal set-up when hosting family gatherings on special occasions.
