This project combined a rear extension and a loft conversion to completely transform our client’s home. The result is a property that feels light, spacious, and modern, while still being sympathetic to the original character of the house.
Creating Space on the Ground Floor
Our clients wanted a home that worked better for family living and entertaining. By adding a rear extension, we were able to design a bright, open-plan kitchen and dining area that now forms the heart of the home.
The downstairs layout was also reconfigured to create two separate reception rooms at the front of the property — giving the family flexible living spaces that can be used for relaxation, a playroom, or a quiet snug.
One of the standout features of this extension is the clever glazing design. Large windows and glazed doors flood the interior with natural light, creating a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors and ensuring brightness throughout the day.
Unlocking the Loft
The loft conversion added even more functionality to the home, creating:
-
A double bedroom with ample headroom.
-
A stylish en-suite bathroom.
-
A dedicated home office, perfect for remote working.
This design has not only increased the property’s square footage but has also provided the family with much-needed versatility — all without the stress of moving home.
Design, Planning & Delivery
At Fluent Architectural Design Services, we supported the clients through every stage of this project:

A Home with Light and Character
This project is a great example of how thoughtful design can add space, functionality, and modern comfort while staying true to the original character of the property. By combining a rear extension and loft conversion, our clients now enjoy a home that not only meets their practical needs but also feels beautifully connected and full of natural light.
