Single Storey Rear Extension, North Norfolk.

Project Location: Saxthorpe, North Norfolk

Sterne Design was approached by the owner of this three bedroom bungalow with the vision to adapt their new property in Saxthorpe into their dream family home. To achieve this we explored and carefully considered multiple options and forms, through concept sketches, design meetings and by using a virtual models which became a core part of the design process. Throughout our clients were keen to achieve a contemporary look for their home, giving us freedom to play with ideas and proportions. Due to the way the land slopes away towards the rear of the property and the fact our clients wanted to achieve a strong connection with their garden, we felt it was important to integrate the landscaping into the design. This has been achieved by a small seating area set to one side with ramped access leading you into the garden.

Rear Elevation

A view showing the new rear elevation for my clients property, providing a fresh appearance for the site and adding that contemporary feel my clients were looking for. The extension at the back provides a living room and dining space which leads out onto a raised patio space. Behind the dining room is a kitchen which holds direct views through the new sliding doors into the garden. A roof light is set above the new dining table to provide plenty of natural light and ventilation.

The Existing
