House Extension Somerset

Like most early 20th century homes, this property was designed at a time when kitchens were confined to the back of the house and hidden out of sight. A key driver of this home renovation was the re-positioning of the kitchen firmly into the heart of the home. By removing dividing walls and creating a wide opening across the rear elevation, the kitchen and living areas now flow seamlessly into the garden, forming a generous open-plan space designed for modern family life.

Large bi-folding doors frame tremendous views over the garden and towards the historic landmark of Glastonbury Tor. A skylight in the new single storey extension brings natural light into the heart of the home. In contrast to the existing rendered facade, the extension is clad in warm red cedar, which will gradually weather over time, softening into elegant silvery-grey tones.
