Seamless Single Storey Extensions That Complement Your Home

Single Storey Extensions That Belong

A successful single storey extension should feel seamless, enhancing the existing home rather than overpowering it.

At Laurence Associates, we carefully study the proportions, materials and architectural language of the original building to ensure any new addition feels cohesive. From aligning rooflines and matching brickwork or timber detailing, to introducing contemporary elements that respectfully contrast, every decision is made to create balance between old and new.

Natural light, spatial flow and connection throughout are often at the heart of these projects, transforming how clients experience their homes on a daily basis.

We welcome projects of all sizes and budgets, working closely with each client to understand their aspirations and deliver thoughtful, well-crafted outcomes.

Contact Us if you’re considering a extension, we would be delighted to discuss your ideas and help bring your project to life.
