Glass Extension - Side Return Extension

Glass extension adds value

This side return extension for a Victorian home in Dulwich successfully partners ODC’s contemporary aluminium glazing with its original French doors and period sash windows. The glass structure fills what was once under-used side access. It’s now a light, bright open plan living space with an outlook to the garden.

Transforms space

Ever popular as a cost-effective way to get more living space and more light into a period home you love, side returns are perennial projects for us. This is a beauty, we have to say, and a favourite detail is the window seat incorporated into the large fixed window. The perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee!

glazing options for your extension

All-glass insulated or thermally broken aluminium frame extensions, traditionally called Wintergardens, are robust, high-performance structures with slim sightlines. They make lovely light spaces and transform dark traditional ground floor living areas.

Alternatively, explore the look and feel of bifold doors or a sliding door system to open up your home. This project featured in a recent Grand Designs magazine article – read more about bifolds for garden extensions here.
