"It was a small, unloved house, so bad that even builders wouldn't touch it. So how did it become a spacious family home?"
"The previous kitchen was never particularly pleasant to be in, but now it really works well as a space and has become a room where we all want to spend time."
"By creating a side or back extension you not only increase square footage but also increase the feeling of space by using lots of glass and opening the back of the house to the garden."
"It was a real pleasure working with our architect…he had a really clear vision about what he wanted to achieve, recommended our builder and project managed the work throughout."
"This side extension by Martyn Clarke goes further and wraps around the house creating a space for family meals and piano practice."
"This sleek extension features a 2.8m-high glazed screen which slides away into a pocket in the wall."
"We were wowed by [Martyn's] kitchen and realised that we could build something far more interesting and practical than a standard tacked-on conservatory for ourselves."
"One year ago, this 30s semi in suburban north London was a collection of dark, boxy rooms over two storeys - two reception rooms, four bedrooms and one bathroom."
"Opening up a labyrinth of dark, disconnected rooms in their Victorian house gave Helen and Martyn Clarke the bright, modern, open plan living spaces they craved"
