A little extra space makes a huge difference. That is not just some fortune cookie wisdom, it’s the truth behind why many homeowners approach a Cheadle Architect to give their homes an extension – providing something unique even if they only have little available space to work with or a budget on the lower side.
Many property owners do not believe in the positive effect of adding a small extension, feeling that it will not give the desired outcome and is a waste of money and time. Whilst we architects can understand that mindset and reasoning, we disagree because we know how impactful even a small extension can be.
Creating a small extension to your property that works for your needs is by no means a simple task, but it does allow you to become more creative with your ideas for your home.
A Diner From a Kitchen
Small kitchen space is one of the most common problems presented to architects in Manchester. It is the one room where everybody wants more space, preferring it as somewhere the entire family can spend quality time together.
A majority of kitchens that we visit have so little in the way of space that you cannot even fit a family table into them. When looking at your kitchen today, weigh up what a few additional metres can provide for the space. Kitchen diner extensions have risen in desire over the last few years following the global pandemic, providing more open-plan living on a smaller, more achievable scale. Extending the kitchen ever so slightly to create a cosy kitchen diner is an amazing use of that space.
Better Garden Connectivity
Creating the illusion of a bigger space is sometimes vital when dealing with home extensions, as it is the difference between a small extension that works for you and one that does not.
That means creating an extension that works with your existing garden space instead of against it. That means creating a seamless transition that makes your garden a part of the project, turning your small extension into a larger one in scope. That can be the introduction of bifold doors that fully open up to your garden or matching the flooring of your extension with the flooring used in your garden space.
You can even get creative and match themes between the extension and garden space. A good architect in Stockport will be able to make you see how it all can have better connectivity.
