1) Stylish Single Storey Extension With Open Plan Kitchen / Dining Area

1 - 4 design ideas for modern house extension with bi-folding doors.jpg

The owners of this post-war semi-detached house wanted to extend their downstairs living space by opening up the kitchen and creating an open plan dining room that linked through with their laundry area and home office. This image shows the result, the bi-fold doors adding a classy touch to the extension and creating a seamless link between garden and home. Also note the three skylights on the roof, which let in even more natural light and prevent the interior of the house appearing dark and gloomy.


2) Side Extension With Interior Remodelling

The single storey extension you can see below adds a sleek dining room area onto the side of a semi-detached home. The owners have removed a small laundry room and remodelled the interior to more than double the size of their kitchen and maximise the available floor space. White painted walls, spotlights and black metal bi-fold doors make this a chic, ultramodern extension – given a cosy, family feel with the right accents and furnishings.
