Рекомендации по дизайну и обустройству веранды к дому

Модный тренд – эффектное и функциональное оформление веранды. Придать пространству террасы стильный вид можно своими руками. Для этого нужно учитывать несколько моментов: особенности сооружения, правила выбора материалов и декора, отличительные черты стилей.

Основные типы постройки

Еще на стадии разработки проекта желательно определиться как часто будет использоваться пристройка/помещение. Этот фактор влияет на выбор материалов, особенности проведения отделочных работ, выбор мебели, текстиля и декора.

Застекленная площадка

 

Панорамное остекление в пол одновременно сохранит ощущения закрытой веранды и обеспечит полный обзор участка. В солнечные дни будет несложно превратить веранду в открытую террасу, если установить стеклянные раздвижные двери-гармошка.

Некоторые минусы строения – появление парникового эффекта в закрытом помещении во время жаркой погоды; высокая стоимость качественного остекления.

Открытая терраса

Наиболее популярный вариант дачной веранды – пристройка, оснащенная навесом/крышей. Это оптимальный бюджетный вариант обустройства уголка для отдыха. Навес обеспечит защиту от палящих солнечных лучей и моросящего дождя. При этом открытая площадка позволит комфортно проводить свободное время на открытом воздухе.

Главный плюс террасы – ее можно спокойно пристроить к давно установленному зданию. Площадку с навесом не всегда пристраивают к главному сооружению на участке. Допускается установка конструкции вблизи сауны или бани.

Недостатки сооружения – личные вещи, мебельную обстановку на период отсутствия необходимо заносить в помещение, в зимнее время пристройка бесполезна, необходимо постоянно заботиться о состоянии внутренней отделки.

Закрытая веранда

Такой вид строения уместен в регионах с переменчивым сезонным климатом. Прохладными или дождливыми днями будет уютно расположиться в надежно закрытом, отапливаемом помещении. Чтобы максимально ощутить присутствие природы и сохранить красивый обзор, делают остекление верхней половины стен. Закрытая веранда обладает еще несколькими достоинствами:

• помещение можно оборудовать системами обогрева или кондиционирования;
• веранду часто используют как место хранения предметов;
• закрытая комната подходит для обустройства спального места.

Важный нюанс – сооружение закрытой веранды желательно планировать одновременно с возведением дома/дачи.

Стилистические варианты

При обустройстве веранды не требуется строго дублировать интерьеры помещений главного дома и при выборе дизайна можно смело экспериментировать. В тренде остаются несколько стилей.

Естественное очарование кантри

На закрытой веранде несложно создать незамысловатый деревенский уют благодаря вышитым салфеткам, простой деревянной мебели, стенам и потолку, обшитыми вагонкой. Для обивки мебели подбирают ткани с растительным орнаментом или в клетку. При выборе текстильного декора (пледы, шторы, декоративные подушки) предпочтения заслуживают натуральные материалы пастельных тонов (светло-коричневый, оливковый, беж, песочный).

Мелкие декоративные детали придадут обстановке индивидуальности: на комоде или на шкафах расставляют плетеные корзинки, глиняные горшочки и вазочки.

Лаконичность скандинавского дизайна

Натуральные материалы, мебель простых форм и легкий декор – основные нюансы обстановки с северным характером. Такой дизайн идеально подходит для обустройства открытой площадки или остекленной просторной веранды. Для создания умиротворяющего уголка отдыха не требуется делать сложный ремонт или устанавливать дорогую эксклюзивную мебель. Потолок или навес декорируют деревянными балками. Мебель подбирается из необработанной древесины.

Сложно представить интерьер без всевозможного текстиля. Подбирают скатерти из натурального хлопка, льна украшенные простыми геометрическими орнаментами. Шерстяные ковры с незамысловатыми рисунками, домотканые половички, подушки придадут уюта зоне отдыха.

Эко стиль – единение с природой

Дизайн с природным характером приобретает все больше поклонников. Натуральные материалы, мебель с четко выраженной деревянной фактурой, обилие растений в кашпо и кадках –органичные дополнения интерьера. Цветовая гамма подбирается естественных оттенков: травяной, терракотовый, бледно-желтый, песочный, бежевый, голубой, серый. Допускается использование стекла, изделий из ковки, керамики. Эко стиль органично смотрится при обустройстве открытой площадки с навесом или закрытой веранды.

Тонкий шарм интерьера прованс

Для оформления веранды используются только натуральные материалы. Каменная кладка, деревянная обшивка или даже грубая штукатурка стен придадут помещению характерные нотки французской провинции. Мебель из ротанга дополняют мягкими подушками с полосатыми или цветочными чехлами. Интерьер оформляют в мягких, словно выцветших тонах: кофе с молоком, бежево-песочный, размыто-голубой, бледно-оливковый, лиловый.

Оживить пастельное настроение дизайна позволят элементы ярких красок: салфетки, диванные подушки, глиняные вазочки оттенков морской волны, небесной лазури, желто-оранжевый.

Особенности планировки

Как правило, для обустройства веранды выделяют площадку значительных размеров (примерно 5-6 м в длину и 3-4 м в ширину). При этом нужно учитывать размеры основного домостроения, поскольку слишком большая веранда будет нелепо выглядеть на фоне компактного дачного домика.

На просторной территории веранды можно комфортно обустроить несколько зон: мягкую мебельную группу для релакса, обеденную зону и при необходимости – рабочий или творческий уголок. При этом не обязательно разделять площадку стенами или перегородками. Достаточно особым образом расставить мебель, использовать текстиль разных оттенков. Не рекомендуется загромождать веранду – проходы между предметами должны быть достаточно широкими.

Для небольшой террасы желательно выбрать определенное назначение. Парочка кресел с маленьким столиком позволит комфортно отдохнуть жарким днем или тихим вечером. Или же веранда используется как обеденная зона и обставляется группой из обеденного стола и стульев/широких лавочек.

Оформление веранды

Дизайн веранды имеет не меньшее значение, чем интерьер дома или дачи. Несложно придать пространству гармоничный вид, если его грамотно отделать и обустроить.

Правила подбора материалов

Распространенный вариант оформления пола закрытой или остекленной веранды – использование древесины. Чтобы напольное покрытие дольше сохранилось и выглядело ухоженно, желательно выбирать прочные породы дерева – дуб, ясень.

Отличный бюджетный вариант – пол из лиственницы, которая устойчива к образованию грибков и плесени. Дорогое, но «вечное» и статусное решение – укладка керамогранита.

Для отделки открытой площадки подойдут натуральный камень, кафельная плитка. Модный тренд – укладка модульной полимерной плитки, обладающей отличными эксплуатационными качествами.

При оформлении стен также рекомендуется использовать влагостойкие материалы. Распространенные варианты – пластиковые панели, вагонка, декоративная штукатурка.

При выборе материалов обязательно учитывается стиль интерьера. Естественное покрытие (дерево, штукатурка) подчеркнут сельское настроение прованса или кантри. Более «промышленно» и брутально смотрятся стены из кирпича.

Влагостойкий гипсокартон подойдет для отделки закрытой веранды, оформленной в скандинавском стиле. Если на веранде есть камин, близлежащие части стен покрывают огнеупорными материалами (плитка, каменная кладка).

Для оформления навеса также используют материалы, устойчивые к атмосферным воздействиям. Вид потолка должен гармонировать с интерьером помещения и отделкой стен (странно будет смотреться пластиковое полотно на фоне классического деревянного сруба). Вагонка – распространенное бюджетное решение, подходящее для оформления потолков открытых и закрытых конструкций. В тренде – пластиковые панели, но нужно учитывать, что материал плохо переносит низкие температуры.

Стеклянный потолок – оригинальная идея оформления веранды с панорамным остеклением.

Тонкости выбора мебели

При выборе обстановки приходится учитывать несколько факторов: тип и дизайн сооружения, как часто хозяева посещают дачу, назначение предметов (для отдыха или обеденная группа).

На открытой веранде можно устанавливать мебель разного качества. Стол со стульями из прочного пластика эффектно дополнят обстановку в обеденной зоне. Пластиковые комплекты не боятся осадков, их можно быстро собрать и компактно сложить в кладовке. Большую популярность приобретает мебель, собранная из деревянных паллет.

Ее изготовление своими руками не займет много времени:

1. Паллеты зачищают наждачной бумагой, покрывают влагоотталкивающей грунтовкой.
2. Чтобы собрать столик, соединяют два элемента, по углам нижнего прикрепляют четыре ролика. В пустоты между рейками верхнего поддона забивают досточки.
3. Для сборки кресла собирают основание из двух паллет. Чтобы оформить спинку, третий паллет располагают вертикально и прикручивают к ранее собранному элементу-основанию.
4. Все предметы мебели покрывают краской нужного оттенка или прозрачным лаком.

Дизайн закрытой веранды имеет важное значение при выборе обстановки. В духе прованса будут смотреться небольшие диванчики и кресла, обитые текстилем в полоску или с цветочным принтом. Нежность французского шика также подчеркнет мебель из ротанга.

Веранду кантри можно обставить простой деревянной мебелью, в которой присутствуют кованые элементы (ножки, подлокотники).

Нюансы декорирования веранды

Завершающие штрихи придадут веранде уютный и стильный вид, подчеркнут настроение. Самодельные вещицы (вязаные скатерти, салфетки, пледы, половики, глиняные тарелочки или кувшины) привнесут в обстановку нотки неповторимости. Уюта и комфорта добавят многочисленные подушки, разбросанные по креслам и диванчикам.

Особое значение придают текстильной составляющей интерьера. Различные материалы применяют для декорирования не только закрытых, но и открытых веранд:

• защитить террасу от солнечных лучей помогут текстильные полотна. Чаще всего занавески шьют из легких, хорошо драпирующихся тканей (лен, хлопок, тюль). Красиво уложенный материал в основном выполняет декоративную роль и органично вписывается в разные интерьерные стили. На зимний период текстиль убирают. Большей практичностью обладают шторы, пошитые из парусины. Такое плотное полотно обеспечит дачникам защиту в непогожие дни;
• для декорирования закрытых и застекленных веранд часто используют рулонные бамбуковые полотна или жалюзи, римские шторы. Особенно удобно, что можно вручную регулировать длину штор. Полотна, опущенные на всю высоту окна, надежно защитят помещения от солнечного света, что особенно актуально жаркими солнечными днями. Если веранда активно используется не только летом, целесообразно подобрать несколько комплектов штор для разных сезонов.

Цветовая палитра текстиля имеет значение для создания органичной обстановки. Более нейтрально смотрится однотонный текстиль. Такие шторы уютно гармонируют с разноцветной обивкой мебели. Полотна с яркими рисунками оживят небольшую веранду, выполняющую роли обеденной зоны или уголка для отдыха.

Хорошо освещенная веранда не только эффектно дополнит основное строение, но и красиво впишется в приусадебный участок. Открытые площадки оснащают «уличными» светильниками, имеющими повышенную защиту от воды. Лампочки закрепляют на перилах лестницы, по наружному контуру навеса.

Освещение закрытых веранд более традиционное – встраиваемые светильники располагают по периметру потолка. Эффектное освещение получается при установке ламп с разными углами рассеивания света, различных оттенков.

Веранда – популярное место отдыха семьи, приема гостей. Продуманный дизайн и комфортная обстановка позволят полноценно расслабиться и отдохнуть.

90000 20 House Extension Ideas | Homebuilding 90001 90002 Looking for house extension ideas? If you are planning on extending your home, then you will need to research what kind of extension you want to build. These 20 ideas will provide loads of design inspiration to help you create the best addition for your home and to get your project off the ground. 90003 90002 These house extension ideas below will give you advice about all the things you need to think about before you commit to extending — from how much value an extension will add through to how the addition is going to work with your existing home.90003 90006 1. Reconfigure Your Existing Space 90007 90002 When it comes to good house extension ideas, the existing space is often reconfigured to make the most of the new space. The reconfiguration will allow you to establish the optimum layout to make the most of access, views, natural light and privacy. 90003 90002 Internal walls and doorways can be added or removed to achieve the space you require and to integrate any new extension, to ensure you get real value and use from it. Consider the position of the entrance and central hallway — which should lead efficiently to all main rooms — and the relationship between key spaces, such as the proximity of the dining area to the kitchen.90003 90002 Use our Extension Cost Calculator. 90003 90006 2. Consider a Two-Storey Extension 90007 90002 Building two storeys rather than one is a great idea for those who are looking to achieve maximum value for money with their house extension idea, as the average cost per square metre (m²) is reduced by stretching the more expensive elements of roof and foundations over a larger area. 90003 90002 90003 90020 This cottage has been extended with a large two-storey addition and new veranda 90021 (Image credit: Simon Maxwell) 90002 You could also build an extra storey over the top of an existing single-storey structure, such as a garage (providing the existing foundations and structure are adequate enough).90003 90002 (90025 MORE 90026: How much will my extension cost?) 90003 90006 3. Choose the Right Materials for Your Extension 90007 90002 Another great house extension idea is to choose either a contrasting but complementary style, or make the extension look like it has always been there. The former is much easier to pull off well. 90003 90002 If you decide on the latter, make sure you copy the key design elements, roof pitch, materials and details like the brick bond and even the mortar colour, or your new addition will look wrong.90003 90006 4. A Contemporary Kitchen is a Great House Extension Idea 90007 90002 If you are looking to create a contemporary designer kitchen in your extension but do not have the budget for a bespoke design, create your own using modular units, combined with end panels, worktops and other features sourced elsewhere to recreate the same look. 90003 90002 Most trade suppliers do not offer panels large enough to create big islands or floor-to-ceiling banks of units to form an ‘appliance wall’, without obvious joints.You can overcome this by buying large sheets of MFC (melamine-faced chipboard) in a matching or complementary finish from a specialist such as Timbmet together with matching iron-on edging strips. Sliding metal timber unit doors to suit standard-size cupboard units are also available from CK Kitchens. 90003 90002 90003 90020 The Contour kitchen in Bumblebee matt yellow will add a vibrant splash of colour to a contemporary kitchen. From £ 6,538 90021 (Image credit: Wren) 90006 5. Add a Conservatory or Sunroom 90007 90002 If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive house extension idea, then this is where the conservatory or sunroom comes into its own.Smaller conservatories often do not require planning permission, are excluded from the Building Regulations and are fairly inexpensive, making them one of the most popular home improvements. 90003 90002 A conservatory can have its drawbacks, however: it must be separated from the house by external doors to reduce energy loss, and it can be difficult to heat in winter and keep cool in summer. 90003 90002 A popular alternative is to build a sunroom — an extension with large areas of glazing, but with a conventional insulated roof and typically one insulated wall (particularly the one facing the boundary).The space can be open to the rest of the house, and the temperature can be controlled more easily. 90003 90002 (90025 MORE 90026: On a budget? Here’s how to keep costs down when building an extension) 90003 90006 6. Do not Forget Ceiling Space When Considering Your House Extension Ideas 90007 90002 Tall ceilings can transform the way a room feels — larger rooms especially are made to feel even more spacious and impressive. An extension gives scope to add this feature for relatively little cost, either by digging down to lower the floor level, or by building up.In a two-storey extension this may result in a split-level on the first floor, which can add interest. 90003 90002 Where an extension is beneath a pitched roof, there may be the option to create a vaulted ceiling, open to the ridge. Instead of building a conventional flat ceiling with a void above, fit insulation within the pitched roof structure to create this feature. 90003 90002 90003 90020 This new extension features vaulted ceiling and reclaimed oak trusses 90021 (Image credit: Dave Burton) 90006 7.A Glazed Link is a Great House Extension Idea for Period Homes 90007 90002 When it comes to period homes, it can be especially difficult to find the right extension design to complement the existing property. One possible solution is to add the new space as an entirely separate building in a sympathetic style — either traditional or contemporary — and to join the two with a fully glazed walkway. 90003 90002 Choosing structural glazing for the walkway will reduce its visual impact and leave the original building’s character unaltered.This is a device favoured by many conservation officers and can work well in linking existing period buildings, too. 90003 90006 8. Fireplaces: Bear Energy Efficiency in Mind 90007 90002 With increasing emphasis on energy efficiency, many people are blocking up open chimney flues and air vents or excluding them from their extension plans. Yet there are two energy-efficient options that still give the feature and comfort of real flames and are fitting for any house extension idea. 90003 90002 Flueless gas fires are 100% energy efficient and require no chimney or flue: a catalytic converter cleans all harmful combustion gases, producing just water and carbon dioxide.Designs include traditional fireplaces and stoves, and contemporary hole-in-the-wall models. 90003 90002 The second choice is a room-sealed woodburning stove, connected to an internal air source to prevent any draughts. They are highly energy efficient and there are some exciting modern design options. 90003 90002 90003 Installed by Prasino Stoves the Michelle smart stove (above) provides a sleek space-saving, sealed pellet stove (Image credit: Prasino Stoves) 90006 9. Outdoor House Extension Ideas 90007 90002 A covered outdoor living area provides somewhere to sit or eat outside during the warmer months, but is protected from either too much sunlight or light summer rainfall.90003 90002 You could choose a traditional option, such as a loggia or veranda, or go more contemporary space, set beneath a projecting flat roof supported by slender steel posts, perhaps with an area of ​​slatted sun louvres. 90003 90002 (90025 MORE 90026: How to bring the outside in) 90003 90006 10. Choose Pocket Doors for the Best of Both Worlds 90007 90002 When it comes to your house extension design idea, if you can not decide between enclosing a new extension with a wall or going open plan, consider fitting sliding pocket doors, giving you the best of both worlds.When closed, sliding flush doors can give the appearance of a wall, but when open they can disappear within the wall, presenting a clear opening. 90003 90002 Pocket door systems are available off the shelf (try Em-B) or you can buy the running gear separately (try Häfele) and have doors made up to suit your own design. 90003 90006 11. Make Sure Your House Extension Idea Features Obscured Glazing for Privacy 90007 90002 Introducing lots of natural light is one of the key ingredients in successful extension design.Where a potential new window opening will look out onto a neighbour, the street, a side alley or directly onto a boundary, consider using obscured glazing, so you get the benefit of daylight but without anyone being able to look in or out. 90003 90002 Traditional options include textured or stained glass and glass blocks, and more contemporary options include acid-etched or sand-blasted glass and coloured glass. 90003 90002 90025 Key Tips 90026 90003 90108 90109 90025 If you can not match a traditional home exactly, do not try 90026.A contemporary contrast is a more honest solution in this case 90112 90109 90025 It’s all about light 90026. An extension will take away some of the light source to your original rooms, so make sure it is packed with glazing 90112 90109 90025 Create a feature 90026. Whether it’s a staircase, fireplace, kitchen island or something else 90112 90121 90006 12. Make a Feature Out of Your Lighting 90007 90002 Top tip 90003 90002 Independent control of each circuit using dimmer switches or smart switches with preset options is essential.90003 90002 A well thought out lighting scheme will create a great atmosphere in your new space, allowing you to use different combinations of circuits for different activities. 90003 90002 As well as 90025 ambient lighting 90026 to provide basic background light for everyday activities, include 90025 accent lighting 90026 in the form of directional spotlights, uplights, downlights, wall washes, baffled (concealed source) lights, table lamps and standard lamps to create light and shade, which is key for atmosphere.Add decorative lamps, for instance, above a kitchen island or dining table as 90025 feature lighting 90026. 90003 90002 90003 90020 Lighting can really help zone an open-plan space like this kitchen-diner featuring the Boston NIQ1330 pendant light from 90021 90020 Perrin Interiors Ltd 90021 (Image credit: Perrin Interiors) 90006 13. The Best House Extension Ideas Manage Acoustics 90007 90002 Contemporary extensions with glass walls, polished stone or concrete floors and crisp, clean lines can look fantastic, but they can also create acoustic problems as sound reverberates from one solid flat surface to another.Such problems need to be overcome by introducing soft sound-absorbent materials into the room. 90003 90002 However, rugs, curtains and soft furniture are not always appropriate — in a dining or kitchen area, for instance. An alternative is to fit some form of 90025 acoustic panels 90026. These can be fitted to the walls as textured profiled panels like wall art, or flat panels printed with any chosen image. 90003 90002 Find out more about controlling noise in your home 90003 90006 14. Frame the Views from Your House Extension 90007 90002 Position window openings to frame the best views and to improve privacy — by screening off any unsightly external features or neighbouring properties.Options include projecting bay windows and oriel windows set at an angle, with one or both reveals designed to act as a blinker. 90003 90002 90003 90020 This window seat artfully captures a view of nearby trees 90021 (Image credit: Simon Maxwell) 90002 Think about the shape of the window and the height of the cill, too — narrow elongated windows can create wonderful panoramic aspects, or be designed to frame a particular landscape view. Low-level windows can be effective at creating views when sitting or lying in bed.90003 90002 Window seats can be another useful device here. 90003 90006 15. Consider a Cantilevered House Extension Idea 90007 90002 Cantilevering is a useful device for creating design features such as balconies, mezzanines or whole storeys that project out from the floor below and appear to float with no visible means of support. 90003 90002 90003 90020 This award-winning cantilevered extension designed by 90021 90020 Adam Knibb Architects 90021 90020 is a clever solution to a challenging site 90021 (Image credit: Martin Gardner c / o Adam Knibb Architects) 90006 16.Make the Most of a New Staircase 90007 90002 If you decide to go for a new staircase when extending, consider making it a key design feature. Options include floating cantilevered treads, open treads, glass or metal balustrading, galleried landings, sweeping curves and spirals. It is probably the best opportunity to create an exciting architectural feature in the home. 90003 90006 17. Give Your Home an Exterior Makeover 90007 90002 Instead of building an extension to match your property’s existing architectural style, the project can become part of an overall redesign scheme that completely transforms your home’s appearance.This is a good technique for adding character and value to buildings that are bland, utilitarian, unfashionable, or which have been extended unsympathetically in the past. 90003 90002 You might be able to undertake the remodelling work under Permitted Development rights (whereby planning permission is not required), but do check with your local planning authority first. 90003 90002 90003 90020 This 1930s bungalow was also given an exterior facelift (and reclad in render) when it was extended 90021 (Image credit: Paul Arthur) 90006 18.Exposed Oak Beams 90007 90002 A vaulted ceiling with exposed oak beams makes a great design feature that gives a room instant character — ideal for a kitchen, sitting room or master bedroom. An entirely oak frame extension is ideally suited to a rustic-style property such as a cottage, farmhouse or a barn conversion, or an Arts & Crafts home. 90003 90002 A cost-effective option is to combine an oak frame principal roof structure (principal rafters, collar, tie beams, braces, ridge and purlins) with softwood rafters — the latter hidden behind plasterboard and insulation.90003 90002 An oak frame extension can be encased within structural insulated panels (SIPs) or any other construction system to ensure it meets Building Regs ‘standards of thermal efficiency. 90003 90002 90003 90020 Exposed rafters gives a more traditional country look in this extension designed by 90021 90020 Roderick James Architects 90021 (Image credit: Roderick James Architects) 90006 19. Introduce Natural Light into Your House Extension Idea 90007 90002 Bringing daylight into your extension from more than one direction to add multiple layers of light and shade, will greatly enhance the quality of space.90003 90002 As well as maximising window and glazed door openings, consider introducing a bank of rooflights, a roof lantern or a clerestory (a row of windows set just below ceiling level and above the eye level) to bring in light from above. In addition to bringing light deep into the floorplan of an extended home, these ideas will also help address issues regarding overlooking and privacy. 90003 90002 90003 90020 A roof lantern brings light flooding deep into this extended home 90021 (Image credit: Jody Stewart) 90006 20.Consider an Annexe 90007 90002 Where the garden is large enough, an annexe might well prove a more sensible and manageable solution than extending the existing house. A garden building might provide additional games space, but would be much more exciting as self-sufficient accommodation, providing kitchen, bedroom and bathroom spaces. 90003 90002 (90025 MORE 90026: Do I need planning permission for an annexe?) 90003 90006 Insuring Your Extension Project 90007 90002 Did you know that by starting an extension project, you could invalidate your existing home insurance policy? 90003 90002 Homebuilding & Renovating has partnered with leading insurance specialist Self Build Zone to provide bespoke solutions at market-leading rates.90003 90002 Get a quote now to protect your extension project. 90003 .90000 Modern extension ideas: 18 contemporary extension designs 90001 90002 Modern extension ideas might be just what you’re looking for if you want to make a design statement. While a modern extension can be a striking addition to a house, it’s important to ensure that your design remains sympathetic to the existing building as well as being appropriate to its setting. 90003 90002 Expert renovator Michael Holmes recommends designing an extension that focuses on scale and form, contrast and harmony, high quality materials and an element of surprise.And our selection of modern extension ideas is here to inspire. 90003 90002 Find out the practicalities with our ultimate guide to extending a house. 90003 90008 1. A tired bungalow is transformed with a modern extension 90009 90002 Architects Pride Road were asked to turn a 1920s bungalow in Chorlton, Manchester, into a wheelchair-friendly family home with contemporary design and sustainable credentials. 90003 90002 A rear double storey extension with a feature gable and grey engineered brickwork, contrasted with white render, creates an open-plan kitchen, dining and living room on the ground floor, which opens out to the garden through bi-fold doors and French windows, with level access to the slate garden paving.On the first floor, a covered balcony leading from the main bedroom creates a stunning focal point. 90003 90002 90015 The cost: 90016 The entire project, including internal refurbishment and a front as well as rear extension, cost £ 264,000. 90003 90002 Find out all you need to know about planning a double storey extension and designing an open-plan kitchen in our guides. 90003 90002 90003 90008 2.
