Kitchen extensions to Holland Park houses — rear and side-return extensions that create a light, garden-facing kitchen, designed for RBKC conservation consent with structure and build in-house.

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.
A kitchen extension is an extension and a kitchen at once — consent and build have to be joined up.
In a conservation area, permitted-development rights are restricted, so the extension needs planning permission.
Rooflights and glazed links bring the daylight that makes a garden-facing kitchen work.
The new room has to connect to the existing kitchen and levels so it reads as one space.
Extending and opening up the rear means engineering and, on shared walls, party wall awards.
