The brief
The kitchen sat at the back of the house with one small window. The owners wanted more space and a direct way into the yard, without a long period living on a building site.
How we built it
Foundations and timber framing went up while the existing kitchen stayed in use. We opened the old rear wall only once the new roof was watertight, which kept the dusty part of the job to three weeks.
At handover
The new room is fully insulated and heated from the existing system. The French doors were fitted, adjusted and checked again after the first month.
