Modern-day living is all about creating bright, open spaces within your home – the sort of spaces that are perfect environments for family and friends to live their lives. This style brings people together, and when a client with a property in Manadon, on the north side of Plymouth, wanted just such a space, they turned to us at Davenport Construction.
Home Extension Brief
In an effort to create an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, the plan was to create a home extension by removing the existing kitchen and dining area and knocking through from the garage, replacing everything with one significant, free-flowing space. The idea behind the home extension was to reconfigure what already existed into a much more usable space, which retained clearly defined kitchen and living areas.
Specifications
- Bright, modern kitchen space with dark accent units and doors
- Large kitchen island, perfect for social living
- A trio of oversized sliding glass doors that perfectly frame the view outside
- Ambient lighting that hangs over the dining space
- A modern, solid oak table that delivers a homely, natural feel
- Clutter-free furnishings that define the living area as a TV space
- Light oak flooring that brings a warm, inviting feel
Results and Delivery
What we created with this home extension is a stunning modern house that is both social and homely at the same time. It combines function with form, and the result is a beautiful, contemporary living space.
The biggest single challenge with this home extension was the significant number of steels that needed to be brought in. The space was difficult to access, and naturally, they were all incredibly heavy and awkward to move by hand.
In addition to Davenport Construction as the main building contractor, the team also included Brody Forbes as the Structural Engineers, Pro-Lec as the Electrical Contractors, ASC Plumbing and Heating and Rees Carpets and Flooring. The team worked in sync together over a 3-month period and ultimately delivered perfectly against the original brief.
The high-end finish is evident across every element of the project, and the client was rightly pleased with the end result. Commenting on the project, the client said: “From the second we started working with Davenport Construction, we were totally reassured that we’d made the right decision. They’re meticulous, calm and very organised, from the weekly on-site meetings, to audio messages and video updates on progress. Nothing was too much trouble, and the work speaks for itself. Phenomenal, and we are so happy with the end result.”
