‘Symmetry’ a Modern extension in Bromley

Project Type: Renovation and Extension
Location: Bromley, South London
Project Profile: The project included a full wrap around single storey extension, re-configuration to the ground floor layout, refurbishment and new kitchen.
Build Time: 4 months

The project in Bromley involved the extension and alteration to an existing semi-detached house. Model Projects worked alongside the clients and main contractor to deliver a simple ultra modern extension that created a large open-plan family space that spilled out into the rear garden.

The use of large sliding doors and a series of symmetrical rooflights allow the space to be flooded with natural daylight.

Homeowner Brief:

Caroline and Lucas wanted a space flooded with natural light. The main family space needed to function for their young family, with a simple flow from inside to out. It is centered around the kitchen which also affords the family a free flowing dining and living area.

Home Profile:

The original house was a 1930’s semi-detached with two main living rooms and a small kitchen, with a previously carried out loft conversion. The proposed extension is a single storey that wraps around the house to the side and rear.

The design extends forward of the main wall to create a new porch entrance and home office. One of the key design drivers was to tie the front appearance of the extension with the original appearance of the house. This was achieved through a pitched roof that runs down the side of the extension.

The rear portion of the extension is opposite to the front with an ultra modern look. A large flat roof runs along the rear that meets the pitched roof. A high level slit window runs along the junction to pull daylight into the kitchen. Further light floods via a series of even balanced rooflights and a large full width grand sliding door set.

The sliding doors open out onto a new paved terrace at a flush level.

Key Design Features

The kitchen is modern to match the style of the extension. Rich blue units contrast with the gloss white units and worktop. A splash of texture and colour is added by the colorful patterned tiles.
