Upper Dobbin Close

Our clients wish was to extend the beach entrance to the house with the creation of a room to the side which would allow for the washing off of wetsuits and dogs, and the storage of associated paraphernalia. Originally a prism of slope glazing to the roof of this simple design would provide daylight to the kitchen covered by the extension but budget requirements reduced this to the use of proprietary roof windows set in a pitched roof covered with the same single ply roofing as the flat roof. The floor and walls (at low level) are capable of being washed down and have a floor drain.

Testimonial from our client

"The new extension has changed how we use our Cornish home, and has released space elsewhere in the house - so the impact is considerable.  There is more sunshine, better views and the place feels warmer.  We are pleased we managed to work closely with Catchfrench Design, your team and the Contractor, to end up with a scheme that was exactly what we wanted - only more so."
