ON THE TILES
For a statement, take a cue from this
extension (above) by Beasley Dickson
Architects, which is clad in tiles – a
relatively affordable way to create
something unique and long-lasting.
‘As demonstrated by Victorian pub
façades, tiles provide a durable,
low-maintenance, timeless facade,’
says co-founder Melissa Beasley.¤
ROUND OFF
To establish aharmonious indoor-
outdoor feel, ensure the floor of any
extension is flush with the external
terrace and use the same surface
where possible. In this project by
Archic (top left), the flooring is
polished concrete, while the full-
height curved glazing adds a more
organic shape to a new family space.
HEIGHT OF LUXURY
It may not always be an option with
a more conventional terraced or
semi-detached house, but where
there’s space for a large side return,
you can add drama with a double-
height extension. This design (top

from Kitchen Architecture in grey
aluminium and kaolin laminate.
