Fairmile Court
Christopher David Design was appointed to assist the clients in the design of a bespoke rear extension, transforming the existing kitchen and dining areas into a generous, light-filled space that now forms the heart of the home.
Residential Renovation & Bespoke Kitchen Extension
Set within one of Cobham, Surrey’s most established private residential estates, the brief was to create a refined yet practical kitchen and dining environment that could comfortably accommodate a modern family, while remaining sympathetic to the character and setting of the estate.
Our approach focused on:
-
Enhancing the relationship between the house and garden
-
Improving daylight, openness, and spatial flow
-
Designing a contemporary extension that respects its context
-
Supporting modern family life without compromising architectural integrity
Architectural Approach
The extension was carefully proportioned to feel considered rather than dominant, ensuring it enhances the original building rather than competing with it. Clean architectural lines, generous glazing, and a restrained palette were used to give the new addition a quiet, confident presence.
Key architectural considerations included:
-
A seamless transition between existing and new spaces
-
Strong visual connections to the garden and surrounding landscape
-
Modern detailing that sits comfortably within a private estate setting
-
A layout shaped around how the family lives, gathers, and entertains
