Open-Plan Kitchen Extension in Bristol

An open-plan kitchen extension giving this Bristol home a bright, sociable ground floor. A run of glazed doors with classic glazing bars opens the full width of the room to the garden, and a long rooflight overhead washes the space with daylight. The kitchen pairs a range cooker and open shelving with a generous island, while the dining and sitting areas flow naturally toward the garden.

Design and construction of a single-storey rear extension with full-width glazed doors and a large opening rooflight. Complete fit-out including a shaker-style kitchen with range cooker and island, dining area and family sitting space with feature fireplace, finished with engineered timber flooring throughout.

The owners wanted one generous, light-filled room for cooking, eating and relaxing, with a proper connection to the garden and space for the whole family to be together without feeling on top of each other.

Bringing daylight into the centre of a deep open-plan space, and giving cooking, dining and sitting zones their own feel within a single room.

A large opening rooflight sits over the heart of the room, working with the full-width garden glazing to keep every corner bright. The island with breakfast seating divides kitchen from dining, and the sitting area gathers around a contemporary fireplace — one space, three clear purposes.
