Mirror-Image Two-Story Extension
Mirror-Image Two-Story Extension
This impressive two-storey extension has been designed with one goal in mind; to look as though it has always been part of the original home. Rather than standing out as a modern addition, every detail has been carefully considered to complement the property’s existing character, creating a seamless transformation that enhances both its appearance and practicality.
The brickwork has been expertly matched to the original house, with the coursing, mortar joints and brick bond continuing effortlessly from the existing structure into the new extension. From the front elevation, it’s incredibly difficult to tell where the original property ends and the new build begins; a testament to the quality of the craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout the project.
One of the standout features is the continuation of the traditional bay windows.
The new two-storey bay has been constructed to perfectly mirror the proportions and detailing of the original bays, complete with crisp white frames and decorative leaded glazing that maintains the home’s timeless character. Matching the window design so precisely ensures the extension feels balanced and completely in keeping with the rest of the property.
The roofline has also been carefully integrated, with the pitch and tiles blending naturally into the existing roof to create a flawless finish. Even from the elevated aerial view, the extension sits comfortably within the original architecture, adding substantial living space without compromising the home’s overall appearance.
Throughout construction, great care was taken to maintain structural integrity while achieving a finish that looks effortless. From the brick detailing around the bays to the perfectly aligned window openings and clean roof junctions, every element reflects the precision and pride that went into delivering this project.
The result is a beautifully executed two-storey extension that transforms the home with generous additional space while preserving the charm and elegance of the original property. It’s the perfect example of how thoughtful design and exceptional workmanship can create an extension that doesn’t just add to a house, it completes it.
