Double Storey Extensions : Maximise Your Living Space
Searching for double storey extension ideas can be a daunting task when faced with huge lists of mega-builds way out of your budget.
Building an extension which spans two storeys can be cheaper than moving house in some areas and more budget-efficient than only building a single-storey addition, but where do you start?
Take a look below for ideas on what’s possible for your project, no matter the shape or style of your house. From detached and semi-detached, to terraces and cottages, there is a variety of shapes and sizes catering to every budget to get you inspired.
Adding a two-storey extension enables those who love an existing house or the location it is in to rejuvenate properties and adapt them for modern living.
Whether it is to add an extra bedroom above a new kitchen-diner or to create a new office space for someone newly working from home; going up as well as out is usually cost-effective and adds plenty of value to any home.
Now more than ever, our homes are being stretched to accommodate grandparents and grown children, or even are being adapted to add a new source of income so creating a self-contained annexe or suite is growing ever more enticing.
Basement extensions can offer the space required, but almost always suffer from a lack of natural light, so extending down with glass box extension like this Georgian villa can be the ideal solution.
Sometimes where the original house struggles with a clear identity or character, striking bold and adding a dynamic addition is the only way to go.
