The project story

The work,
in detail.

Kitchen installation, a new seating area and the garden elevation are shown alongside earlier brickwork and roof construction.

Project: Rear extension and kitchen
Spaces shown: Kitchen, seating area, garden glazing and deck
Details to notice: Green cabinetry, two rooflights, veined tiles and timber steps

The aim

Bring cooking, informal dining and seating together in one room, with daylight from above and views into the garden.

ES BUILD’s scope

Rear extension construction, roof and glazing works, followed by kitchen installation, flooring and interior finishes. The photographs include the brick exterior and timber deck access.

Key decision

Place a generous island between the kitchen and seating area, with a timber breakfast ledge for informal dining. Two rooflights and glazing on two sides bring light across the room.

The result

A completed green kitchen and seating space with direct access to the raised deck. The gallery follows the structure through to installation; the earlier exterior comparison was taken after work had begun.

The transformation

Before & after.

Views of the same home, with the earlier and later stages clearly labelled.

From the original rear wall to a garden room

Early groundworks are already under way in the first photograph. The later image shows the red-brick extension, broad garden glazing and timber steps in the same setting.
