Private House, Stainton

What was once a leaky, cold conservatory that obstructed access to the garden has been completely transformed into a warm, welcoming extension, now the true heart of the home. The new kitchen and dining space is designed to connect to the garden, creating a strong relationship between inside and out.

To maximise light and views, slimline profile sliding doors were specified rather than bi-folding doors. Their uninterrupted glazing frames the garden as a living backdrop while flooding the interior with natural light. Overhead, triple-glazed frameless rooflights enhance this sense of openness, delivering excellent thermal performance while creating a bright, airy atmosphere that feels both snug and expansive.

The result is a space that not only functions beautifully for family life but also celebrates its setting. The kitchen/dining area has become a place to gather, cook, and share. A contemporary, light-filled hub where the architecture quietly enhances everyday living.
