Pitched roof side garage extension.

A single pitch roof can make a side return feel loftier inside and look attractive viewed from the garden. Pitched roofs have a more traditional appearance while a flat roof can appear sleeker. As pictured above it is likely to extend much further than a mansard besides having the lower pitched slope on the bottom. This might be enough to extend by around 4m right across the back of a typical semi or detached house with either a flat or low pitched sloping roof as a single storey or side return extension both ideal for creating a large open plan kitchen diner.

But flat glazed roofs or one with a series of rooflights can be equally as effective. The upper portion of the roof is heavily pitched and the lower slope is gently pitched. However this wall also forms and internal wall within the accommodation below. This allows you to put up higher ceilings or utilise the space below the roof in the form of a loft.

With a pitched roof extension you inevitably benefit from more space beneath. The gable wall to your home is an external wall once it projects through the new pitched roof over the garage. The pitch of the extension s roof complements the original building creating a sense of harmony between the two elements. The professionals at mustard architects designed the extension to blend in with the brickwork of the original building and the pitched roof gave them extra height without the addition looking boxy and imposing.
