What is Extension Architecture?

The term extension architecture
is relatively young in its use within the architectural industry, but
it is certainly gaining more traction every year. In its rawest
breakdown, it is simply the process of designing and constructing
extensions.

Due to the constraints of properties boundaries, the
the the the ever-growing need for more space and the spiralling cost of
buying, moving, and building a new home we are seeing more extensions
being built than ever before.

With that comes the need for more
professionals that handle this type of work and as such you will now see
extension specialists that those that specialise in extension
architecture.

It may seem like a simple idea, after all, what can
be so hard about designing an extension? Well as with all aspects of
architecture understanding the project brief is vitally important in
achieving an effective design and therefore a satisfied client.

Extension
architecture is no different, first, we must understand our clients'
desires for the project and couple this with an understanding of what is
possible with regard to the host property and the local planning
authority. Once we have done this we can let our creative ideas flow and
look to produce a design that suits our clients needs exactly.

Of course, the introduction and its recent update to permitted development rights mean that it is also potentially easier than ever to have an extension approved and then built.
