Planning approved for glazed corner extension in Wokingham
Render of rear glazed corner extension to family home in Wokingham
We are delighted to share that planning approval has been granted for a carefully considered, glazed corner extension to a family home in Wokingham.
The project includes a side and rear extension, along with internal refurbishments, to a property situated on the edge of parkland. The homeowners approached us, as experienced residential architects in Wokingham and Berkshire, with a clear brief: to increase light throughout the property, establish a peaceful library space, and design an additional quiet living and entertaining area that could open seamlessly into the garden.
Our proposals included the partial conversion of the garage to create a dedicated library, complete with a window seat as a comfortable reading nook. The side and rear extension incorporates a two-sided fireplace, designed to provide both a visual and spatial connection to the existing living room.
A key feature of the design is the glazed corner extension, where sliding glass doors open fully to remove the corner entirely, offering uninterrupted access to the garden. This creates a strong indoor-outdoor connection, perfect for modern family living.
To further maximise natural light, we introduced a rooflight over the junction between the extension and the existing living room, along with a bespoke projecting window and internal seat. These features are designed to flood the home with daylight, transforming the internal atmosphere and creating a brighter, more welcoming space.
With a north-facing garden and a previously disconnected layout, the new design works hard to enhance the quality of light and create a more cohesive relationship between the home and its surrounding garden.
We look forward to sharing updates as this exciting home extension progresses through the next stages.
