The Renovation Project

Dan and Charlotte live in their semi detached house in North London with their young family. The property is situated on a large corner plot, with a large side and rear garden.

Model Projects was engaged to design a double storey side to rear extension,along with a single storey rear infill extension. This created a large open plan kitchen/dining area on the ground floor, and two further bedrooms with bathrooms to the first floor.

The proposed extension was designed to maintain the style and appearance of the existing house with; matching bay window, half brickwork, upper half render and matching window details. To the rear a more modern approach has been taken with large full width sliding doors leading out to an external terrace area.

Project Design and Features

The ground floor was redesigned with the entrance to the centre of the home, with playroom to the left and TV/snug room to the right. At the end of the hallway, a large open plan kitchen/dining and living room unfolds. Model Projects designed a large rectangular roof light, ensuring the space below was filled with natural light. Large sliding doors were added across the width of the rear providing light and a full view of the garden beyond.

A stunning kitchen with a large central island containing cooking hob and seating for 4 people clearly defines the separation from the dining and living area’s behind. Model Projects worked closely with Dan and Charlotte to create alcoves within the walls to provide space for ornaments and decorative items. The living room is slightly separated from the hubbub of the kitchen in a cosy corner, with large corner sofa and built in TV.

To the first floor, two large bedrooms were created, both with ensuites. The master suite overlooking the garden to the rear was designed with a large walk-in wardrobe. A new large family bathroom was located in between the two new bedrooms allowing easy reach from all bedrooms.
