A side extension with a bike store and new WC, plus bespoke joinery — Wimbledon

A small brick side extension that makes use of the passage beside the house: a bike store at the front and a new WC inside the house at the back, leading through to the kitchen. Inside, we laid new wooden flooring and made a hidden cabinet and a custom kitchen table.

Building the side extension

We worked alongside an architect we have partnered with on other projects. Once the architect had successfully obtained planning permission for the client, we built a small brick extension in the side passage. It is split in two: the front half is a bike store with its own external door, and the back half became a new WC that opens from inside the house.

The bike store and the new WC

The bike store gives secure, dry storage at the side of the house. Behind it, the new WC is reached through a new opening formed from inside the house, leading on to the kitchen. We built the space and fitted out the WC.

A cabinet that disappears into the wall

Next to the kitchen we built a full-height cabinet with shelving behind a flush door. Once painted, the door blends into the wall, so the cabinet reads as part of the wall itself.

Wooden flooring and a custom kitchen table

We laid new wooden flooring through the kitchen and hallway, and made a custom kitchen table to fit the space by the garden doors.
