Description

This project involves expanding the current single-storey rear extension to optimise the layout of the kitchen and dining area. The redesign will feature a new flat roof, complemented by parapet walls constructed with facing bricks along the boundary. These improvements aim to enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the space. Two roof lights were added to bring lights in to the existing living areas.
