Highly glazed Dining room extension

This distinctive dining room extension beautifully balances traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. Built around an exposed oak-framed structure, it features elegant wrap-around Maxlight sliding doors and striking brown/red Pigmento zinc cladding by VMZinc. A large triple-glazed rooflight sits at the heart of the design, surrounded by a living Sedum green roof and river-washed pebbles, creating both visual interest and ecological benefit.

The extension maximises natural light and frames magnificent views across the landscaped garden and the tranquil canal beyond, achieving a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors while making a bold architectural statement.

To enhance these views and improve natural light throughout the lower ground floor, ground levels were carefully reduced. This transformed previously sunken windows into natural outlooks and introduced a new stepped approach to the original porch and front door, bridging over a storage area and lightwell serving the lower level.

Working in collaboration with interior designers Rogue Designs, we delivered a fully integrated architectural, interior, and landscaping package. The project was meticulously managed from concept through to completion,
