From Conservatory to Contemporary Living: A Modern Single-Storey Extension in Sheffield

Over the past few years, we’ve noticed a significant shift in customer preferences when it comes to home extensions. Conservatories, once a must-have feature 15 to 20 years ago, are now often seen as impractical. Many homeowners find them too cold in winter, too hot in summer, and increasingly expensive to maintain.


However, this shift presents an exciting opportunity: replacing outdated conservatories with high-quality single-storey extensions that meet modern building standards and provide year-round comfort.






The Project Brief

Our client approached us with a conservatory that no longer suited their family’s needs. They wanted a solution that would offer a more functional, comfortable, and stylish space while maintaining the natural light that the conservatory once provided.


The Design Solution

We designed a single-storey extension that seamlessly integrates with the existing property. To ensure the new space felt bright and inviting, we incorporated large doors and roof windows, which flood the interior with natural light throughout the day. The extension was built to high building regulations standards, ensuring excellent thermal efficiency and year-round usability.


Structural Transformation

One of the most significant changes involved removing the rear wall of the house. This structural adjustment allowed us to create an open-plan layout that enhances the flow of the home. The new space is versatile, perfect for modern family life, whether it’s used as a kitchen-diner, living area, or multi-functional room..


Added Value and Appeal

The new extension not only improves the functionality and comfort of the home but also adds significant value and appeal. Unlike conservatories, which are often seen as outdated and high-maintenance, a well-designed extension becomes a seamless part of the home, increasing its saleability in today’s market.






The Final Outcome

The result is a warm, efficient, and stylish addition to the property that enhances both its practicality and aesthetic appeal. By replacing the conservatory with a modern single-storey extension, the homeowners now enjoy a space that meets their lifestyle needs and stands the test of time.


If you’re considering upgrading your home by replacing an old conservatory, we’d love to help you explore the possibilities.
