Wrap-around Kitchen Extension, Kimberley Gardens, Haringey

Project Brief: Rear wrap-around kitchen extension for a mid-terrace property in Haringey, North London, designed to create an open-plan kitchen and dining area.

In the vibrant borough of Haringey, North London, homeowners sought to transform their mid-terrace property into a more functional and inviting space. Their vision was clear: create a contemporary, open-plan kitchen and dining area that would harmonize beautifully with their existing home while enhancing its usability and aesthetic appeal. For this ambitious project, they turned to ConstructX, a trusted name in designing and building bespoke wrap-around kitchen extensions in Haringey and beyond.

Vision and Planning

The project began with an in-depth consultation and a detailed site survey, where the ConstructX team collaborated closely with the homeowners to understand their specific needs and preferences. Following careful consideration, a rear wrap-around kitchen extension was identified as the perfect solution to maximize space and improve connectivity between the home’s interior and the garden. At ConstructX, we pride ourselves on delivering tailored design and build services that cater to the unique characteristics of every property, and this project was no exception.

Meticulous planning was central to the project’s success. Every detail of the design was thoughtfully developed to ensure the new extension blended seamlessly with the existing structure. This approach not only maintained the architectural integrity of the mid-terrace home but also enhanced the overall flow between the original and newly extended spaces. ConstructX’s experience in managing wrap-around kitchen extensions in North London enabled us to anticipate challenges and implement solutions that exceeded the homeowners’ expectations.

Key Design Features

One of the standout elements of this Haringey project was the addition of an expansive kitchen island, designed as the heart of the new space. Serving multiple purposes, the island provided:

  • Practical workspace for meal preparation,
  • Generous storage for kitchen essentials, and
  • A social hub for informal dining and gatherings.

To elevate the design, the island was fitted with bespoke features, including a built-in wine fridge and a breakfast bar, seamlessly blending functionality and luxury. Its sleek, contemporary design perfectly complemented the overall aesthetic of the kitchen, becoming a focal point for both everyday use and entertaining.

Enhancing Natural Light and Connectivity

Lighting played a crucial role in the design, with a strong emphasis on maximizing natural illumination. The extension incorporated two skylights and a stunning glass roof panel, which flooded the space with daylight. These features are particularly popular in North London wrap-around kitchen extensions, as they create a bright and airy ambiance while fostering a connection to the outdoors.

The integration of bifold doors further enhanced this connection. Stretching across the rear of the extension, these elegant doors allowed for uninterrupted views of the garden and created a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. During warmer months, the bifold doors could be fully opened, transforming the kitchen and dining area into an alfresco living space, perfect for entertaining and relaxing.

Material Selection and Aesthetic Appeal

The careful selection of materials was pivotal in achieving the homeowners’ vision. ConstructX worked closely with them to choose finishes that balanced modernity and timelessness. The result was a kitchen defined by its:

  • Dark green cabinetry that added depth and sophistication,
  • White marble countertops offering a sleek, luxurious finish, and
  • Contrasting darker-toned worktop on the kitchen island, which introduced visual interest.

These elements combined to create a cohesive and stylish space, reflecting the homeowners’ tastes while enhancing the functionality of the kitchen.

Transforming the Home

The completed wrap-around kitchen extension exceeded the homeowners’ expectations, transforming their mid-terrace property into a more spacious, functional, and aesthetically pleasing home. The open-plan layout made it ideal for family gatherings and social events, while the bifold doors and skylights brought in an abundance of natural light, making the space feel expansive and inviting.

This project demonstrated how a thoughtfully designed wrap-around extension could revolutionize a property, providing both practical benefits and a striking visual upgrade. ConstructX’s expertise and attention to detail were evident at every stage, resulting in a truly stunning transformation.
