With our highly professional and experienced architectural team, no job is too tough for Coffey Architects. We work on a variety of projects ranging from residential projects to commercial ones. One of the areas that we have particular expertise in is our ability to design modern side extensions for a wide variety of homes.

Building an extension requires a great deal of planning and designing. The key to a good design is making sure that it fits in with its environment. Using the same build materials as the house isn’t critical as there are a number of contrasting designs that work with dated or period properties. The aim of any good project is to improve the appearance of the property whilst adding value. Not planning properly can lead to problems and may in turn decrease the value instead of boosting it.

Side extensions are actually quite cunning as they are only about a meter wide and yet they offer so much potential, especially to the rear of a house. Back additions, particularly on period properties were always built long and narrow which meant that they weren’t large enough for dining or recreational uses. Architects eventually got around to utilising the side return space and as a result people are now aware of the huge impact that extensions can deliver.

When it comes to house alterations, there is no other type that offers more options and potential than the side extension. Homes with them are capable of producing various internal layouts and exquisite living spaces. These can be tailored to suit the needs of the inhabitants, ensuring the property becomes their dream home.

At Coffey Architects we pride ourselves on our ability to develop modern side extensions. It is our commitment to our work that allows us to maintain the high standards that we constantly put into our projects. We are passionate about residential architecture and offer flexible service to clients across London and further afield who want to enhance their home with an extension.
