Before & After
From a dated conservatory to a bright, open extension.
Drag the handle to see a tired rear conservatory replaced with a modern open-plan extension. Illustrative of the type of work — not a specific project.
The Story
What a rear extension involves.
This is the kind of house an extension is made for — a well-built Cork family home that everyone has outgrown, with a kitchen closed off from the garden and nowhere for the family to sit together while the dinner is on. Often there’s a dated conservatory or lean-to at the back doing half a job.
A rear extension opens the back of the house right up. The old kitchen and the new floor area become one bright, open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, with wide sliding doors that bring the garden in and the light with it.
We handle it all with one in-house team — design and planning, foundations and structure, the build itself, then the kitchen, glazing and finishes — so there’s one plan and one point of contact from the first drawing to the final snag.
It’s the same approach behind every extension we take on across Cork.
