A beautifully designed extension that enhances family living by seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces, featuring a veranda-inspired room with lowered ceilings and clerestory windows, perfect for entertaining in Auckland's variable weather.

The clients for this extension have a very family orientated lifestyle, and entertain a lot.  They prefer to sit, and eat, outside whenever possible, however in Auckland the rain often keeps them stuck inside.  With this in mind, they wanted to extend their kitchen and living area with a new room that had the feeling of a veranda.

Lowering the ceiling of the extension, and including clerestory windows at high level to the original space, with bi-fold doors opening away from the corner, created a space that effortlessly bridges the divide between inside and outside.
