House extensions in York designed around your home

Every project begins with understanding the building. York’s architecture is rich and varied, from beautiful historic houses to contemporary homes and converted city-centre properties. We design house extensions that respect these surroundings while introducing light, space and modern functionality.

Each extension is carefully considered in relation to the existing property, ensuring that proportions, materials and architectural detailing feel completely at home.

By treating the extension as part of the original design rather than an addition, we create spaces that feel balanced, natural and enduring

What we offer in York

Single storey rear extensions

Kitchen and dining extensions

Side return extensions for terraced homes

Double storey extensions

Open plan living spaces

Garden rooms and light-filled family spaces

Structural alterations and internal reconfiguration

Many of our extension projects also incorporate bespoke interior elements such as fitted cabinetry, architectural panelling and integrated storage. These details are created through our specialist joinery service, ensuring the interior of the new space is crafted with the same level of care as the structure itself.

In summary, we can accommodate any bespoke house extension requirements.

Design with lasting craftsmanship and everyday living

A successful house extension requires more than simply adding square metres. It requires a thoughtful approach to architecture, materials and construction.

We combine design expertise with experienced building knowledge to ensure every extension integrates seamlessly with the existing property. Materials are carefully selected to complement the original architecture, while modern construction techniques provide strength, efficiency and durability.

We think carefully about space, how natural light enters the room and how indoor and outdoor areas connect. Whether creating a spacious kitchen extension, a garden-facing family room or a calm open-plan living space, our aim is always the same.
