A garden-facing kitchen where the light is

The most transformative kitchens in Holland Park are usually the ones that extend — reaching into the rear or filling a side return to create a bright, garden-facing room that the original house never had. It combines the extension and the kitchen into a single project, which is where the value, and the complexity, lie.

Because most of Holland Park is in a conservation area, permitted-development rights are restricted and the extension needs a planning application with a design that respects the rear elevation and the neighbours. The roof, the glazing and the link back to the house all have to be resolved so the new kitchen feels part of the building, not bolted on.

We design the extension and the kitchen together, win the consent, engineer the structure and build it through to the finished room — one contract, one responsible team, from drawings to the first meal cooked.

What shapes a Holland Park kitchen extension

A kitchen extension is an extension and a kitchen at once — consent and build have to be joined up.

01

Conservation limits PD

In a conservation area, permitted-development rights are restricted, so the extension needs planning permission.

02

Light is the point

Rooflights and glazed links bring the daylight that makes a garden-facing kitchen work.

03

Linking to the house

The new room has to connect to the existing kitchen and levels so it reads as one space.

04

Structure + party wall

Extending and opening up the rear means engineering and, on shared walls, party wall awards.

Questions clients ask before they start

Do I need planning permission for a kitchen extension?

In a Holland Park conservation area, almost always — permitted-development rights are restricted, so the extension needs a planning application and a careful design.

What is a side-return kitchen extension?

Filling the narrow side return alongside the rear back addition to widen the kitchen into a single, light room. It is one of the most effective extensions on a period house.

How do you bring in light?

With rooflights and glazed links, which is what turns an extended kitchen into a bright, garden-facing room.

Will neighbours be affected?

Extending and opening the rear on a terrace engages the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. We manage the notices and awards.

What does a kitchen extension cost?

It combines an extension and a kitchen, so it is a significant project. We give an honest budget band in pounds sterling (GBP) after a feasibility visit.
