The Brief
The Brief

Our clients planned to enlarge their kitchen, diner to create a more informal eating experience; this part of the garden was very much under used and although there were lots of building issues, it was agreed that this was the best area to develop.

The Process
The Process

A simple monopitch design with french doors was considered to provide best value for money; our client chose to have the self-cleaning glass from Pilkington. The grey chosen for the frames is understated and works well with the lead faced boxing sections, which contain hidden pipe work and electrics for lighting.

The Result
The Result

Two manual roof vents and externally opening doors create a light and airy feel to the room. This lean-to enabled the client to make a useful space out of an area of the garden that they were not using.
