Double-Storey Extension

Transforming space and lifestyle across two floors

All case studies

A carefully planned two-storey extension that added a generous kitchen-diner downstairs and much-needed bedroom and bathroom space above — designed to feel like it had always belonged to the house.

The challenge

The family had outgrown their home but loved the street and garden. They needed meaningful extra space without losing the character of the original property, and they wanted the new work to look seamless from the garden elevation.

Our approach

We worked through layout options early, aligning openings, floor levels and drainage so the extension read as one continuous home. High-quality cladding and stonework were chosen to elevate the rear façade, while black-framed glazing brought in light and a clean contemporary edge.

The outcome

The finished home now flows from a bright kitchen-diner into the garden, with additional bedrooms and a modern bathroom upstairs. The rear elevation feels intentional and premium — and the family gained the space they needed without moving house.

From first site visit to final snagging, the emphasis was on precision: square openings, tidy junctions between old and new, and finishes that will wear well for years. We coordinated structural design, weatherproofing and internal fit-out so every stage stayed aligned to the agreed programme.

Before

The original rear elevation was dated and constrained, with limited connection to the garden and not enough room for a growing family.

Patio cleared and foundations dug — strip footings poured against the existing rear elevation, ready for the new extension structure to rise.
