Completed project · Wanstead, E11
WEBUD extended this Victorian terraced home to create a brighter kitchen, dining and living space with a more direct connection to the garden.
The homeowners wanted to improve the rear of the property and create a more practical space for cooking, dining and spending time together.
The original arrangement did not make full use of the connection between the house and garden. WEBUD developed and delivered a rear extension that introduced additional space, larger glazed openings and a clearer relationship between the kitchen, dining and living areas.
What the homeowners wanted
Before the extension
The new extension needed to feel contemporary while remaining appropriate for the original brick property. The transition between the existing house and the new space also needed to feel natural rather than appearing as two disconnected interiors.
The design had to balance glazing, privacy, practical kitchen storage and comfortable living space while maintaining realistic proportions for a London garden.
Plan and visualise
Before the principal building work began, WEBUD established the layout, external appearance, glazing, material direction and relationship between the kitchen, dining area and garden.
Visualising the proposed result helped the homeowners understand how the completed extension would look and how the new space would work in everyday use.
Visualise your extensionScope of work
The extension uses brickwork that sits comfortably alongside the existing property, combined with dark aluminium-framed glazing and restrained contemporary detailing.
The simple external form allows the glazing and garden connection to become the main focus while respecting the character of the original house.
Inside, the extension brings the kitchen, dining and informal living areas together within one connected space.
The layout provides room for food preparation, family meals and relaxation while maintaining clear functional zones. Integrated storage and a consistent material palette keep the interior calm and practical.
Large glazed doors bring more daylight into the rear of the property and create a stronger visual connection with the garden.
A level and carefully considered threshold helps the interior and patio feel connected, making the extension more useful throughout the year.
Materials and finishes
The materials were chosen to be practical and long-lasting while keeping the extension visually calm. Brick and dark glazing define the exterior, and a warm, consistent palette carries the same character through the interior.
Project delivery
The layout, appearance and key material decisions were agreed before construction.
WEBUD coordinated the building work, installations and interior finishes through one managed process.
The extension was finished, checked and prepared for handover.
The outcome
The completed rear extension gives the property a brighter and more practical ground floor. The kitchen, dining and living areas now work together, while the large glazed doors create a stronger connection between the home and garden.
Externally, the brickwork and dark framing provide a contemporary addition that remains sympathetic to the original Victorian property.
By defining and visualising the design before construction, WEBUD was able to deliver the extension around one clear and coordinated direction.
