🔨 Big structural milestone on this transformation project.
The knock-through is now complete and ready for the contemporary rear extension. Over the last few days we've carefully removed the existing rear wall, installed the structural steelwork, and created a clear 6-metre span across the back of the house.
These photos show the process from temporary propping and demolition through to the installation of the steel beam that will open up the entire ground floor. Once the extension is built and the glazing is in place, this space will be transformed into a bright, open-plan living area with uninterrupted views to the garden.
A lot of planning, engineering, and precision goes into creating openings of this size safely, but the results are always worth it.
