Rear Extension & Open-Plan Living – West Yorkshire

Location: West Yorkshire

Architects: Paul Matthews Architectural

Our Role: Contractor, Main contractor for Interior Fit-Out & Bespoke Joinery

OVERVIEW

Our clients approached us with a vision to extend the rear of their home, creating a light-filled, sociable open-plan living space that would bring together kitchen, dining, and lounge areas—while also incorporating a downstairs WC and a practical yet stylish utility room. The brief focused on maximising natural light, enhancing everyday functionality, and maintaining a cohesive design that complemented the existing property.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

  • Design and construct a rear extension that blends seamlessly with the existing home
  • Create an open, sociable kitchen-dining-living area with an emphasis on natural light and views
  • Provide a bespoke kitchen and utility room tailored to the family’s needs
  • Deliver high-quality interior finishes throughout

SCOPE OF WORKS

Extension & Structural Works

  • Construction of a rear single-storey extension to provide additional living space
  • Installation of large roof light to flood the space with natural daylight
  • New external doors and windows in keeping with the character and style of the original property
  • Open-plan layout designed to maximise space and views to the rear of the home

Bespoke Interiors & Joinery

  • Fully designed bespoke kitchen installation, including central island and tailored cabinetry
  • High-end fitted units designed around the family’s usage and storage needs
  • Matching fully fitted utility room designed to be both beautiful and functional
  • Feature wood panelling

OUTCOME

The completed extension delivers exactly what our clients envisioned: a bright, open, and sociable space that enhances the way the family lives, entertains, and relaxes. Thoughtfully designed and crafted interiors—from the bespoke kitchen to the utility room and WC—elevate the daily experience, while expansive glazing and the roof light provide a constant connection to the outdoors.
