White brick, dark frames and broad stretches of glass set the tone from the first view. The renovation and extension of a country house reads quietly from the garden side, where the extension opens toward the terrace and the large glazing draws in daylight. An entry canopy extends the roofline above the front door, sharpening the edge of the facade. Outside, a clipped lawn and tight planting beds keep the approach clear, while paving runs along the plinth and the entrance zone.

White brick and dark frames shape the country house renovation

The exterior stays restrained in its gestures. White brickwork meets dark accents around the windows, doors and roof edges, and that contrast makes the openings easy to read. The extension with large glazing continues this rhythm toward the garden, with shadow lines under the overhangs separating the volumes. The front door remains compact and dark, tucked beneath the canopy, while the paving strip beside the house pulls the route along the base of the wall.

From several angles, the house opens outward without losing its calm outline. The large windows on the garden side catch daylight and show how the extension with large glazing relates to the terrace and lawn. In front of the house, the lawn is flat and neatly edged, with low planting that keeps the ground plane crisp. The result is not a dramatic break with the existing house, but a careful shift in openings, shade and proportion.

An entry canopy that pulls the roofline forward

The canopy above the entrance is a small move, but an important one. It projects the roofline, marks the threshold and casts a shadow that softens the junction between wall and opening. Seen against the white brick facade with dark frames, the canopy gives the entrance a firm border without adding weight. The paving below continues this line at ground level, so the approach feels measured from the garden path to the door.

The same attention to edge and line returns along the facade. Overhangs throw thin shadows across the masonry, and the dark trim around windows and doors keeps the openings distinct against the white wall. In a country house renovation, these details do the quiet work: they make the volumes legible and leave the garden-facing glass to carry the light.

A bespoke kitchen built from green fronts and stone-like surfaces

Inside, the tone changes from white masonry to colour and material. The bespoke kitchen places green kitchen cabinets at the centre of the room, with paneled fronts and discreet metal handles. A marble-look countertop runs across the work area and continues toward the cooking zone, where the backsplash or niche takes on the same stone-like character. The combination is direct and readable: green fronts, pale veining and a clear horizontal work surface.

The layout is arranged so the working areas stay visible. Openings in the custom interior wall, the cooktop zone and the sink side sit in relation to one another, so the stone surfaces remain part of the room rather than background. A niche picks up the stone finish more strongly and frames the work area almost like a shallow recess. It gives the kitchen depth without filling it with ornament.

Green kitchen cabinets and a marble-look counter

The smaller details matter here. Brass- or bronze-toned handles sit against the green fronts and give the cabinet wall a steady rhythm. The marble-look surface softens the block of colour, while the stone-like backsplash continues that line behind the cooking zone. Nothing feels added after the fact. The cabinets, handles and worktop sit in the same system, and the material contrast is what keeps the bespoke kitchen readable.

Seen as a whole, the kitchen works through proportion rather than display. The panel structure keeps the fronts calm, and the stone-like niche becomes the main pause between the closed cabinet runs. That is where the eye rests before moving to the next section of the room. The result is a kitchen that feels built into the architecture of the house rather than placed in it as a separate object.

Built-in wall units keep the rooms visually clear

Further inside, the built-in wall unit and niche solutions carry the same discipline. A dark blue-grey panel wall runs beside lighter trims, creating a passage between rooms while keeping the storage visually contained. The surfaces are kept flat and the measurements are strict, so the wall reads as part of the room rather than a freestanding piece of furniture. It supports circulation and removes everyday items from view without becoming heavy.

That approach repeats in other spaces as well. Panel structures, built-in openings and continuous lines prevent the rooms from filling up with separate objects. The wall unit works as a backdrop to the route through the house, while light frames and pale wall surfaces keep the transition open. In a renovation and extension of a country house, that kind of ordering matters as much as the new openings to the garden.

A dark fireplace sets a fixed point in the living room

The dark fireplace gives the living room a clear anchor. Around the opening, the wall finish stays light, which makes the darker surround stand out. The hearth itself is kept tight and controlled, with enough space around it for the room to breathe. Its role is not decorative excess. It fixes the composition and keeps the focus on the relation between opening, wall and floor.

Light walls and dark accents continue that logic across the room. The custom interior does not stop at storage; it also shapes the sightlines. The dark fireplace aligns with other fixed elements in the house, such as the frames, panel edges and cabinet lines. As a result, the living room feels organised by built-in parts rather than by loose furnishing.

Hallway, stairs and paneled doors

In the hall and on the landing, the route through the house becomes the main subject. Wooden treads, white balusters and pale wall finishes keep the stair compact and legible. White paneled doors break up the wall plane in a measured way, while daylight softens the landing and lets it open toward the next room. A marble-look finish appears again on a step detail, linking the passage to the stone tone used elsewhere in the interior.

This part of the house shows how the renovation and extension of a country house works beyond the new glazing. The circulation spaces are not left as leftovers. They are lined with the same attention to proportion, surface and threshold, so the passage from one room to another feels deliberate. Houten floors, painted joinery and the pale stair finish keep the route clear without overemphasising it.

Views between kitchen, wall units and garden

The project is at its clearest where inside and outside meet. The large glazing to the garden makes the extension feel connected to the terrace, while the kitchen and built-in wall unit give the interior fixed points. Between them, there is room for movement and long sightlines. The house renovation and extension is therefore not read as a single intervention, but as a sequence of adjustments to opening, shade and storage.

Outside, the lawn sits tight against the facade and the planting beds sharpen the edge of the path. Inside, daylight reaches deep through the glazing and catches the green fronts, the pale stone-like surfaces and the dark fireplace. The custom interior links these spaces by repeating the same material tension: white and dark outside, green and stone inside. That is what holds the country house renovation together from garden edge to hearth and kitchen wall.
