Striking Large-Scale Rear Extension in Richmond KT2

This spectacular project in Richmond KT2 showcases how a well-executed extension can completely transform a home. Designed and project managed from start to finish by the team at Draw Plans, this extensive renovation added a dramatic new wing and expansive open-plan living space to a detached period property.

The brief from the homeowners was ambitious: create a large, multifunctional space that brings together a new kitchen, dining area, and family lounge — all seamlessly connected to the landscaped garden. With a keen focus on space, light, and flow, Draw Plans delivered a bold architectural solution that respects the original building while injecting it with contemporary flair.

A Seamless Connection with the Outdoors
The design centres on vast sliding glass doors and a dramatic glazed roof section, flooding the interior with natural light and creating an uninterrupted visual connection to the garden. A large raised timber deck wraps around the rear of the house, providing an ideal setting for outdoor living and entertaining.

Architectural Detailing & Bespoke Features
One of the highlights of the project is the gabled extension finished with full-height glazing — housing a beautiful bespoke kitchen fitted with hand-painted cabinetry and oversized pendant lights. A central island, timber flooring, and vaulted ceilings create a space that is as luxurious as it is functional.

This is complemented by a separate lounge area with a glass roof strip running the length of the room, offering sky views and enhancing the sense of openness. Internally, bespoke joinery, statement lighting, and warm material palettes make the home feel timeless yet fresh.

More Than Just a Kitchen
Beyond the main extension, Draw Plans oversaw the addition of a cinema room, a library/home office with fitted shelving, and other internal refurbishments — all carried out with a high level of design continuity. The finished home is perfectly suited to modern family life, offering generous entertaining spaces, cosy corners, and functional zones.
