Home Renovation and Rear Extension with Open-Plan Living
South Downs National Park
Project Overview
This residential renovation and rear extension, designed by Karenna Wilford Architects, transformed the property into a spacious, contemporary family home.
The project introduced approximately 60m² of additional open-plan living space, bringing together the kitchen, dining and family areas. Large openings and carefully positioned glazing improved natural light and strengthened the connection between the house and garden.
The wider renovation also included improvements to the property's bedrooms and bathrooms.
The Challenge
The project required the existing property to accommodate a significantly larger, more flexible living area while creating an open connection to the garden.
The design needed to bring together cooking, dining and relaxation spaces within a cohesive layout, alongside the wider refurbishment of the home.
Our Solution
The architectural design incorporated a substantial rear extension with wide openings and an open-plan internal arrangement. We provided the Structural Engineering drawings and calculations for this project.
The Result
The completed project provides a bright, spacious family home with a 60m² open-plan kitchen, dining and living area.
The new extension improves the relationship between the internal living spaces and the garden, while the wider renovation creates a consistent, contemporary finish throughout the property.
