Single Storey Extension with
Vaulted Ceiling
The Brief
The Solution
Our in-house architectural design team developed a simple yet highly effective single-storey extension that blended beautifully with the existing home. A full-width opening connected the new and existing spaces, creating a generous open-plan layout that instantly felt spacious and welcoming.
A standout feature of the design is the stunning vaulted ceiling – a dramatic yet elegant detail that adds height and character. Two rooflights positioned within the slope of the ceiling allow natural light to pour in throughout the day, making the room feel bright and airy even on cloudy days. Behind the scenes, clever engineering ensured the structural supports were completely hidden within the ceiling, maintaining clean lines and an uninterrupted sense of space.
The Results
The finished vaulted ceiling extension has completely transformed the way this St Albans family uses their home. The new open-plan kitchen, dining and living area has become the heart of the house – a flexible, light-filled space perfect for everyday family life, entertaining, or simply relaxing together.
This versatile design not only enhances how the family lives today but will continue to evolve with them as their needs and tastes change over time. It’s a space that truly brings people together – comfortable, timeless and full of natural light.
