This detached home in Newbury, Berkshire has been given a striking new lease of life through a carefully designed modern extension. The project replaced a tired rear layout with a bold brick-built addition that opens the house to the garden, creating light-filled living spaces that suit modern family life. At the heart of the design is a sleek open-plan kitchen and dining area, framed by large bi-fold doors that blur the line between indoors and outdoors. The extension also provides a spacious lounge, designed for comfort while keeping a strong visual connection to the garden. Every element, from the choice of materials to the clean architectural lines, was considered to balance contemporary style with practical everyday use. The result is a home that feels both elegant and functional: a place where cooking, entertaining, and relaxing flow together seamlessly.
