Plan your multi storey extension

Initially, it’s essential to determine your objectives for the multi storey extension. Are you aiming to expand living space for your family or enhance the value of your property? Once you’ve clarified your goal, you can proceed with designing the extension. Take into account the architectural style of your current home, the available space in your garden, and the practicality of the extension. Engaging a skilled architect or designer can assist in crafting a design that aligns with your requirements while remaining within your financial means.

 
Multi Storey Extension plans

Multi-storey extensions offer versatile layouts to maximize living space and functionality. Here are some common types:

  1. Side-by-Side Layout:

    • The additional floors are built directly on top of the existing structure, creating a straightforward extension of the floor plan vertically.
    • This layout maximizes the footprint of each floor while maintaining a consistent layout and room arrangement.
  2. Stacked Layout:

    • Each additional floor is stacked directly on top of the other, resulting in a compact and efficient layout.
    • This layout is ideal for narrow or compact properties where space is limited horizontally but can be expanded vertically.
  3. Lateral Extension:

    • The extension extends horizontally from the side of the existing structure, adding extra rooms or living space on each floor.
    • This layout allows for a more spread-out design, with rooms arranged side by side rather than stacked vertically.
  4. Wraparound Layout:

    • The extension wraps around one or more sides of the existing structure, creating additional rooms or living space on multiple levels.
    • This layout maximizes natural light and views by incorporating windows on multiple sides of the extension.
  5. Integrated Layout:

    • This layout maintains the overall aesthetic of the property while providing extra space for living, sleeping, or recreational purposes.
    • The extension is seamlessly integrated into the existing structure, with the additional floors blending seamlessly with the original architecture.
  6. Offset Layout:

    • The extension is offset from the existing structure, creating a staggered or asymmetrical layout.
    • This layout can add visual interest to the property and allows for more creative room arrangements and design elements.
  7. Central Core Layout:

    • The extension is built around a central core, such as a staircase or elevator shaft, with rooms arranged around it on each floor.
    • This layout maximizes efficiency by consolidating utility connections and circulation space in a central location.
  8. Custom Layout:

    • A bespoke layout tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the homeowner, incorporating unique features, room arrangements, and design elements.
    • This layout offers maximum flexibility and customization options to create a truly one-of-a-kind living space.
