Stunning Modern Extension Transforms Chelmsford Period Home

This comprehensive renovation project in Chelmsford showcases Connection Construction's expertise in transforming outdated spaces into stunning contemporary living areas. Our clients approached us to replace their dilapidated conservatory with a spacious, modern single storey extension that would complement their period home while creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
The project began with the challenging removal of the existing conservatory, which sat on solid concrete foundations that had caved in and been filled with concrete. This required extensive work with heavy machinery to clear the way for new piled foundations. Upon removing the kitchen plaster, we uncovered previously undetected subsidence issues. Our team quickly collaborated with a structural engineer to devise and implement solutions, ensuring the building's long-term stability. The kitchen floor presented another challenge, requiring a digger to create a suitable subbase for the new house extension in Chelmsford. Throughout these unexpected challenges, our commitment to quality and transparent communication with the homeowners remained unwavering.

Creating Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living with Stunning Premium Materials

A standout feature of this modern house extension is the striking Accoya Shou Sugi Ban cladding in Tobu finish, a Japanese charred wood technique that provides both visual impact and durability. The installation of oversized sliding glass doors required 8mm glass instead of standard 6mm, offering expansive views of the garden while flooding the space with natural light. Inside, a water-based zoned underfloor heating system powered by a dedicated heat pump provides efficient, comfortable warmth throughout the new spaces.
The seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living areas was achieved using matching 60x60 Borba Perla porcelain tiles, carefully planned to align perfectly between the new kitchen, extension, hallway, utility room, and exterior patio. This meticulous attention to detail created a cohesive, contemporary aesthetic that expands the visual space while maintaining practicality. The renovation also included creating new structural openings to improve flow between existing and new areas, installation of a modern kitchen, and a complete update of all windows and doors across the rear elevation to complement the extension. Our team worked closely with building control throughout the project, from initial planning to final sign-off, ensuring compliance with all regulations.
