Carnoustie Extension

Carnoustie Extension
2022

Quite often it is the small projects that make a big difference! The brief for the project was to improve the entrance to the house and provide a better kitchen/dining space.

The existing entrance was uninspiring through a back gate of the house and the former kitchen was cramped with no connection to the outside. The house alteration and extension incorporates both elements of:

1. a new modern entrance; and

2. an extension with bifold doors that connected the kitchen/dining space to the garden.

A sleek low profile standing seam metal roof was created to overhang and protect the entrance, whilst continuing over the extended dining space. A large glass corner window provided a view into the inside from the door whilst letting lots of natural light into the space. A simple single rooflight carefully positioned over the new metal roof also let light back into the kitchen space.

The result is a modest but modern new entrance and house extension, that represents a huge transformation from the existing building.
