A glazed single-storey extension to a detached family house in Brentwood, Essex, opening a new kitchen, dining and living space to the garden.

A new single-storey extension to the rear of a detached family house in Brentwood, Essex.

A slim, overhanging roof floats above walls of frameless glass, so the new kitchen, dining and living space opens directly onto a stone terrace and the garden beyond. A long rooflight draws daylight deep into the plan over the kitchen island, while the glazed corner dissolves the boundary between inside and out.

The extension is deliberately restrained alongside the original house: a crisp, contemporary addition that gives the family the open, light-filled space they need while leaving the character of the existing building clear.
