Despite this constant change, we have found that good design is timeless.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here at Build Team, to celebrate 15 years of designing kitchens and home extensions, we wanted to take a look back at some of the design layouts and changes of approach over the years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From sculptural lighting to interior &amp; landscape zoning and themes, there are so many ways to approach your home extension. We hope that some of the projects we have worked on can help inspire your own project.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>2015 &#8211; Klea Avenue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Unique lighting, pastel blue storage and wooden finishes, this project oozes character and personality and even features a wine cellar in the basement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/www.buildteam.com\/264b1b08-0c9f-4e3f-b103-a08753cb14aa\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>2016 &#8211; Lyham Road<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">With antique furniture to offset a thoroughly modern extension, the white walls and ceiling complement the colour palette and unique aesthetic of this home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/www.buildteam.com\/74da66c0-f588-41d8-b8b5-070bc3ace1d0\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>2017<\/strong> <strong>&#8211; Clyde Road<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Digital art, a sculptural kitchen island and glazing which opens the interior into a beautifully landscaped garden. This kitchen extension is contemporary and forward thinking, with a layout which encourages movement and social spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/www.buildteam.com\/f3646198-6e49-488f-8364-a25fd0d41c7e\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>2018 &#8211; Thorpedale Road<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Using all of the best elements from previous designs, this project feels spacious and bright, with key elements such as a kitchen island and lots of storage laid out in a way conducive to cooking, socialising and walking through the space with ease. Colour adds delight, as do vibrant fixtures. Crittall doors are an excellent design feature to complete the look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/www.buildteam.com\/729022d9-208b-45f6-a277-22e572aa5a13\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>2019 &#8211; Hubert Grove<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Details such as a terrarium, house plants and clever kitchen utensils bring together this large and welcoming kitchen and dining area. Mustard dining chairs juxtapose navy kitchen storage to create interest, while sculptural lighting and lots of natural light create a space which is both interesting to look at and highly practical to live in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buildteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-10.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.buildteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-10.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.buildteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-10.jpeg 685w, https:\/\/www.buildteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-10-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>2019 &#8211; East Dulwich Grove<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">This space has an industrial feel, whilst maintaining a sense of home through splashes of colour, thoughtful finishes and a walkway which floods with natural light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buildteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-9.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"681\" height=\"454\" src=\"https:\/\/www.buildteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-9.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.buildteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-9.jpeg 681w, https:\/\/www.buildteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-9-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>2021 &#8211; Therapia Road<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">This project showcases how an excellent layout, and strong interior can create a space which offers feelings of comfort, luxury and space whilst sharing personality and points of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buildteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-11.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"699\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.buildteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-11.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.buildteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-11.jpeg 699w, https:\/\/www.buildteam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-11-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>2022 &#8211; Charleville Circus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Natural furniture, materials and colours create a space which is peaceful and calm, with areas to socialize, eat, work and make.
