Brief: Architectural drawings for a single storey side return extension to a mid-terrace home in Peckham, London, creating a new kitchen and dining area.
Simply Architects created the architectural drawings for this stunning spacious side return kitchen extension in Peckham, Southwest London. In partnership with our sister company, Simply Extend, our surveyors determined a side return extension was the optimal choice for our London clients. Our talented team of architects offers architectural drawings for all types of kitchen extensions to ensure the optimal type for your property.
As a cost-effective and impactful type of extension, the side return extension utilises the alleyway of your property to increase space without eating into your garden. Side return extensions are a great way of increasing living space if a rear extension is not possible, or you don’t have a large garden to extend into.
Our Peckham clients informed our architects that natural light was an important factor when designing their kitchen space. With that in mind, our architects implemented three VELUX skylights panning across the entire roof of the kitchen. These increase natural light exponentially, brightening the space and creating a welcoming, open space. Lighting is an important aspect to consider with all kitchen extensions, our architects will discuss your options to increase natural light while maintaining aesthetic appeal and functionality of the space.
Paired with the VELUX skylights, our client requested a seamless connection to their garden while also increasing natural light. Following a discussion with our architect on style choice, our clients opted for an industrial steel patio door option. This enhances the natural light while offering an aesthetic yet functional garden connection. With two large patio doors in the centre, our clients can open the space, letting in important ventilation. A custom cat flap has also been installed into the patio doors to allow access for their furry friends.
Open plan kitchens and living spaces have become increasingly popular in previous years and continue to do so. With such a large amount of space, our Peckham clients were able to design and style the space to their personal preferences. Interrupted only by the permanent fixture of the stunning marble kitchen island, the space remains open plan with a smooth transition into the dining space. An open plan kitchen is an ideal choice for larger families and homeowners that enjoy hosting, offering the perfect entertainment hub for family and friends. Our architects will be able to discuss the optimum space for your family and lifestyle.
With the cooker and all cabinets installed against one side of the kitchen, our architects have maximised space to create a spacious, open kitchen for our Peckham clients. This side return kitchen extension has provided plenty of space, whether it be to host parties and dinners or to simply serve as the heart of the family home, the extension has given our clients a new space they had only ever dreamed of.
