About this design

This striking contemporary extension showcases a dominant palette of cool greys, crisp whites, and warm timber tones. The primary materials are powder-coated steel framing and expansive low-iron glass panels that create a transparent two-storey volume. A dramatic woven rattan pendant light hangs above the dining area, adding organic texture. The spatial layout cleverly blurs the boundary between interior and exterior through full-height pivot doors that open the dining and living spaces completely to a sunken courtyard garden. Concrete planters with lush greenery and integrated lighting soften the architectural lines. The mood is calm, sophisticated, and airy, making this design ideal for families who love entertaining or homeowners seeking a light-filled modern addition to a traditional property.
