Tudor Road.

This project involved the design and delivery of a two-storey side extension to an existing family home, to enhance both space and functionality while ensuring the new addition blended seamlessly with the original architecture. Architecture North Ltd was appointed to lead the project from concept through to completion, working closely with the client to create a solution that responded to their evolving needs and lifestyle.

A key aim was to increase the size of the ground floor kitchen and dining area, creating a more generous, light-filled space that would serve as the social hub of the home. The new layout improves circulation and opens directly onto the rear garden via large glazed doors, strengthening the indoor-outdoor connection and encouraging year-round use of the garden. Internally, the open-plan configuration offers flexibility for day-to-day family life, entertaining, and quiet moments alike.

On the first floor, the extension accommodates two new bedrooms—a spacious double with a modern en-suite bathroom, and a well-sized single room—both designed to maximise natural light and comfort. These additions significantly improve the home’s capacity and offer greater flexibility for a growing family or visiting guests.

The extension was carefully designed to respect the proportions, materials, and character of the existing building, ensuring architectural coherence and a sensitive relationship with neighbouring properties. Externally, materials and detailing were selected to complement the existing façade, while internally, high-quality finishes were specified to bring a sense of cohesion and refinement throughout.
