Low Fell, Gateshead
Project type: Rear Extension
Design in detail
Works have now finished on site for a new rear extension in Low Fell, Gateshead. This large 65sqm extension to the rear of an end of terrace house will create an open plan kitchen/ living/ dining area fit for everyday family living.
The house was built before the 1890s and has thick sandstone walls. It neighbours a Grade II listed building which used to be Sir Joseph Swan’s (inventor of incandescent light bulb) house from 1869-1883.
Our design created a large contemporary flat roof extension with an open plan living area. The original scullery has been retained and converted into a utility and downstairs WC.
To compliment the dark tones of the existing sandstone walls the extension is vertically clad in a charred larch. The delightful open plan space is now flooded with light from a large atlas rooflight along with a series smaller rooflights creating a uniformly lit space.
