Side, Rear Extension & Garage Conversion — North London

This North London detached property was transformed by the Antonio Grano building team through a wrap-around extension combining a side and rear addition with the full conversion of the garage, a programme of works that fundamentally changed the scale and character of the home. Deep excavations established the foundations for the extended structure, whilst precision-engineered steel beams replaced the restrictive load-bearing walls that had previously divided the ground floor, creating a flowing open-plan kitchen and dining space of a quality and scale the original house could never have accommodated.

The converted garage now forms the warm, insulated heart of the home , a large lounge area that connects the principal living spaces with genuine coherence. Three Velux windows to the rear extension and expansive glass doors to the garden flood the open-plan kitchen and dining area with natural light throughout the day, extending the perceived boundaries of the interior into the landscaped outdoor space. This is a project that illustrates the transformative effect of structural building work intelligently conceived and executed, and the value of a contractor who considers the spatial and light qualities of the finished home from the first day on site.
