Light-Filled Extension in Petts Wood, Bromley

Located in Bromley, South London, this property underwent a substantial transformation. The project scope involved a significant extension to the ground floor footprint, alongside a reconfiguration of the existing layout.

The extension was undertaken with sympathy to the character of the existing property and the surrounding area's distinctive character, being located in Petts Wood.

Balancing Size with Light

One of the inherent challenges with large-scale ground floor extensions is the potential loss of natural daylight in the deeper parts of the room. As the footprint expands, the center of the home often risks becoming dark and uninviting.

The design intent was twofold:

1. Functional: Ensure the newly modeled kitchen and living space remained bright and welcoming, avoiding any gloomy corners.
2. Aesthetic: Enhance the visual appeal of the extension both internally and externally, creating a focal point.

The Solution

To address the lighting challenge, the design incorporated a high-specification rooflight from Glazing Vision.

Given the size of the new extension, the Fixed Flushglaze Rooflight was identified as the perfect solution to inject natural daylight directly into the heart of the living space due to its ability to diffuse natural daylight throughout the room, thanks to its frameless internal design.

The new rooflight serves as a bridge between the indoors and the outdoors, ensuring that the kitchen area is flooded with light throughout the day.

The Results

The installation of the Flushglaze Rooflight has transformed the feel of the ground floor. The result is a stunning, open-plan environment where light plays a central role in the design. The rooflight successfully creates a vibrant kitchen space that feels connected to the sky above and the surrounding nature of the area.l, efficient and the quality of the end product more than met expectations
