Streatham Common Single Storey Side Extension London & Planning Residential Architecture Explore our Step by Step Project Progress to Add a Creative Extension to Your Home
Project Overview
That sounds like an exciting project! Designing a single-storey side extension while transforming and reconfiguring a traditional semi-detached property can be a rewarding challenge. It’s great that the client’s house already had enough space to accommodate the side extension. Utilizing the existing outbuilding as a starting point for the project was a clever decision. Repurposing the outbuilding into a stylish alfresco dining space not only saves costs but also adds character and functionality to the overall design. Creating an open plan dining/kitchen area is an excellent choice for promoting a bright, airy, and spacious contemporary atmosphere.

Planning Consideration
At Studio20 Architects, we prioritize following planning considerations for our construction projects, including single-storey rear extensions in the Lambeth Council area. We work closely with the council to obtain the necessary permits and approvals, taking into account factors like building height, setbacks, and design aesthetics. Our goal is to create designs that seamlessly blend with the existing structure and neighbourhood while providing functional and beautiful living spaces for our clients.
What We Provided Our Client
Retaining the main structure of the outbuilding enabled us to create a small angular rear extension and connect it to the proposed dining room for creating an open-plan kitchen/living space. We left the remaining space at the rear to make a large patio. We used bi-folding doors, stretching across both elevations, etc. to create a magnificent transition between indoors and outdoors.
Our aim was to create a perfect place for entertaining during the summer. The advantage of retaining the existing structure and renovating that allowed us to create a spacious place with a lot of interior prospects, in spite of the limited budget. Along with the proposed internal reconfigurations, we created a separate utility as well as shower room without eating up lots of space from the main room.
