In November 2024, QSG Construction proudly completed a stunning rear extension project for Mr. and Mrs. King in Fulham. This carefully designed addition not only extended their kitchen but transformed their living space into a modern, open-plan kitchen and dining area that’s perfect for family gatherings and entertaining guests. Here’s a closer look at how we brought their vision to life.
The Design: Blending Functionality with Style
The project’s primary goal was to create an open-plan kitchen and dining space that maximised natural light and provided seamless indoor-outdoor living. By extending the property at the rear, we were able to increase the functional square footage while maintaining the home's original charm.
Exposed internal brickwork added a touch of industrial chic, perfectly complemented by sleek, modern lighting fixtures that illuminated the space beautifully.
Key Features of the Project
-
Luxury Kitchen Installation: We installed a state-of-the-art modern kitchen from Howdens, combining high-end materials and finishes with practical functionality. The kitchen layout was designed to optimise workflow and storage while delivering a contemporary aesthetic.
-
Underfloor Heating: To enhance comfort, we incorporated underfloor heating throughout the extension, ensuring a warm and inviting atmosphere during colder months.
-
Seamless Patio Integration: The rear extension opened out onto a stylish patio, creating a smooth transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. This feature not only adds value to the property but also enhances its usability throughout the year.
Planning an Extension: Do You Need Planning Permission?
One of the most common questions we encounter is, “Do I need planning permission for an extension?” For Mr. and Mrs. King’s project, we worked closely with local authorities to ensure compliance with planning regulations. In many cases, rear extensions fall under permitted development rights, meaning you may not need full planning permission. However, there are exceptions, particularly in conservation areas like Fulham or for listed buildings. Always consult experienced builders or architects to guide you through the process.
Managing Structure and Budget
Building an extension requires meticulous planning and attention to detail. From structural considerations like supporting beams for open-plan designs to budgeting for high-quality materials and finishes, QSG Construction ensures every aspect of the project is managed effectively. For Mr. and Mrs. King, we worked within their budget to deliver a high-end finish without compromising on quality.
