Kitchen extension - work in progress

Here we present some photos of some work in progress, a kitchen extension to an existing house in red brick.


There's lots left to do, including replacing the unsightly temporary vent stack on the right with a more appropriate version! A two-course brick plinth was constructed to match the existing architectural details. More details on brick plinths and their historical significance is available here - http://www.ibstock.com/pdfs/architects/design-guide-plinths.pdf


A traditional stable door was incorporated into a new porched back entrance. This will make an interesting feature and allow for fresh air in summer time.


Finally, a new bespoke kitchen is being kitted. We think this extension will make a very impressive addition to the existing house, freeing up the space where the original kitchen was for entertaining and family use. We hope you found this short work in progress piece interesting and that you will checl back for more photos as work progresses.
