St Margaret's Street Residential Extension, Rochester, Kent

This scheme is for a single storey extension along a residential street in Rochester. We were commissioned by the owners of the property to design a contemporary, light and airy extension to their existing end of terrace Victorian two-storey dwelling, which featured a series of small-medium sized dark rooms.

The design incorporated an open planned in-fill extension to the side, with internal remodelling to create a light and spacious kitchen/dining accommodation. The proposal features a glazed roof to encourage natural light into the extension and spaces beyond. Being founded in the Kentish Vernacular, the extension features the contemporary facing material of pale grey weatherboarding.

The scheme features a large amount of glazing with an extensive series of bi-fold doors and fixed panel glazed that makes the most of the relationship with the rear garden, whilst also maximising natural light.
