Harborne – House Extension and Roof & Loft Services Projects

Harborne House Extension – with Skylight Roof & Garden Integration

This elegant rear extension project demonstrates how thoughtful design and structural
precision can completely transform a home. Starting from a blank structural canvas, the
new extension was built on dual foundational rows to ensure long-term integrity and
thermal performance. A pitched roof at a 15-degree angle was engineered to welcome sunlight
throughout the day, and fitted with four custom skylights (80x100cm each) that cast
natural light deep into the living space. This luminous canopy not only enhances the spatial
quality but also promotes energy efficiency. Inside, the new kitchen and dining area are
framed by large, black-framed glass doors, seamlessly connecting to the garden and giving
the space a sense of openness and calm.

The integration between the existing home and new build was a key priority. By fully
opening the rear wall, the transition from old to new becomes fluid, creating one cohesive
lifestyle zone. To maintain design continuity, matching laminated flooring runs throughout
the extension and the original home. Hidden behind the clean finishes is a complete upgrade
to kitchen plumbing and central heating infrastructure, ensuring both performance
and compliance. A particularly complex challenge, managing level differences between the
main building and extension, was overcome through careful elevation planning, resulting
in a balanced and elegant finished floor plane. This project is a perfect example of architectural
harmony, technical execution, and client-centric design.
