Hi folks,
Looking at doing a small rear extension onto the kitchen/living room. We currently have a south facing kitchen living so gets sun most of the day. Patio door out onto the patio area is where we are thinking of extending out. About 4M by 4M. It will open up the best view of the garden to us by having one side primarily glass. The other 2 sides good windows.
The roof we are unsure of pitched or flat but whatever it is letting in as much light as possible. I have one builder had a look and he is to quote and another one coming on Saturday.
My only real concern is minimising how much the internal of the existing kitchen/dining gets darkened by the extension. I know the builders and they are good at what they do but they aren't designers. Is it silly engaging an architect for such a small project?
Thanks!
