This project involves the redesign and extension of an existing residential property for a young family in south Manchester. While the home already benefited from a south-facing garden, the existing layout limited the flow between the principal living spaces and did not fully maximise the relationship with the outdoor space.

The proposals introduce a more considered ground floor arrangement, improving the connection between the kitchen, living areas and garden while creating a more open and welcoming family environment. The extension allows the home to better support everyday life, with improved circulation and stronger links to the external setting.

A double storey rear and side extension provides additional flexibility at first floor, enabling the creation of a further bedroom through a reconfigured layout. The design also considers the future potential of the property, with provisions made to allow for a loft conversion should the clients wish to extend their home further.
