Our clients purchased a split-level detached family home with many good points and potential. The key aspects to the project were to create a new family room, with better links to the garden, an improved entrance, a larger formal living room, adding bedrooms and improving the kerb appeal. As such any extensions needed to be as efficient as possible due to the limited garden area and level changes. The resulting extension helped to create a larger, more private, and secure garden area by introducing a new retaining wall which was incorporated into the front elevation.
