This contemporary side infill extension seamlessly integrates with the existing property, creating a striking visual contrast between the traditional exterior and the bold, modern interior. The use of exposed steel beams, which span the width of the space, lends an industrial-chic aesthetic and strengthens the structural integrity of the addition.
The open-plan layout encompasses a stylish kitchen, featuring high-end appliances and sleek, handleless cabinetry in a rich, earthy tone. An expansive island provides ample preparation and casual dining space, seamlessly integrating the culinary zone with the adjoining living and dining areas.
Seamless flooring, in a neutral tone, unifies the different functional zones and creates a sense of visual continuity. Carefully selected lighting fixtures, including recessed spotlights and pendant lamps, accentuate the architectural features and contribute to the overall ambiance of the space.
The living and dining areas are defined by their flexible, modular furnishings, allowing the homeowners to easily adapt the space to suit their evolving needs and entertaining requirements.
This side infill extension not only enhances the practical living spaces of the home but also showcases a bold, contemporary design.
Challenges:
Integrating a level change within a low-level boundary extension creates complex architectural challenges. The design must carefully manage structural transitions, managing potential drainage issues, thermal performance, and foundation stability across varying floor levels. Boundary line constraints demand meticulous attention to planning regulations, party wall agreements, and precise architectural detailing to ensure structural integrity and visual coherence across the changing floor levels.
