Mathew Crawford Architects designed this contemporary, light filled kitchen diner to the rear of this Victorian house in Lewes Conservation Area.
The extension features two 3 meter long rooflights which flood the space with light as well expansive Crittall style windows which connect the dining area to the courtyard garden.
The client sought a contemporary aesthetic and the beautifully stylish kitchen and micro-cement floor finish complete the look perfectly.
“When we purchased our house on a prominent corner of a Conservation Area, we didn’t know if it would even be possible to get planning permission for our extension. But with Matt’s expert knowledge of the planning system and fantastic design skills, we have managed to achieve our dream.We really appreciated Matt’s attention to our budget throughout the whole process, helping us to make the most of our modest budget. Matt is a fantastic listener. He went to great lengths to understand what we needed for our growing family. At the start of the process Matt presented several options, taking time to explain the pros and cons of each. Once we chose a preferred option, Matt developed the design to a great level of detail. He delivered an excellent pack of information and helped us discuss our project with local builders.We took on the difficult task of managing the build ourselves, and Matt was always there to help us understand every stage of the process. We couldn’t be happier with our amazing new space!“
