Garage and rear extension design in Cullercoats, North Tyneside
Architectural Design Insights | Alistair Crerar
Transforming a semi-detached home with space for modern living
In Cullercoats, North Tyneside, our clients approached Acre Design with the ambition of creating a home that better reflected their lifestyle. The brief was clear: to maximise space, improve flow, and design a light-filled open plan area that would bring family and friends together.
The design vision
Our solution combined a garage conversion with a full-length single-storey rear extension, uniting the two elements to create a striking open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space. Internally, carefully considered wall removals were introduced to enhance connectivity and deliver the sense of scale and openness our clients desired.
A home for living and entertaining
The result is a home designed for both family life and entertaining. With generous proportions, natural light, and a seamless connection between indoors and out, the property now offers an inspiring space for cooking, dining, and gathering.
Designed around the client
Our clients were delighted with the initial concept and required only minimal refinements before the plans were finalised — a testament to the collaborative design process and the clarity of their vision brought to life through our expertise.
