The sloped glazed roof ties in with the industrial-style ceiling in the kitchen, created by exposing the joists. The builders matched the rough finish of the joists with timber supports on the skylights, then painted everything white to create a light, airy space.

Go long and large
The pitched-roof extension that’s been added to this property comes out quite far, and has created enough room for a large living room at the back of the house.
The shape of the new edifice, designed by JLArchitecture, looks attractive at the back of the house and gives the owners extra ceiling height without overwhelming the external space.

Bring in the light
This extension has created a long room that allows the kitchen and dining areas to stretch out lengthways.
To ensure the space didn’t impact on the neighbours, the designers at Paper House Project built it with a pitched roof. The owners now have a spacious new room with plenty of height above. The sloped roof has provided a surface for large skylights, which make the room feel bright and airy.

Add character
If you want to create an extension on your period property without going too contemporary, a pitched roof design is a good solution. The added space at the back of this Edwardian home, designed by Lofts and Extensions, has bags of character thanks to its sloped shape.
The angled ceiling creates space for an attractive set of French windows and additional glazing at the rear that looks completely in keeping with the period house and provides a stunning feature.

Create a contrast
Rather than try to blend the extension in with the rest of the building, the architects at Gundry & Ducker have created something completely different. The black-clad space with an asymmetrical pitched roof looks striking at the back of the Victorian property.

To add even more interest, the architects have replicated the sloped form with an angled black fence at the back of the garden.
Connect with the garden
Not only has this pitched-roof extension helped to provide extra space without blocking light for the neighbours, it’s also helped the owners create a connection with the garden. The angled design, created by GOAStudio, protrudes over the patio to form a pleasing shape when viewed from outside.

From inside, the sloped ceiling attractively frames the garden, while extra glazing above the bifold doors maximised the light.
There’s even an extra glazed section at the back, looking onto the side return, to bring in more light.

The pitched roof extension at the side of this Victorian property helped the owners achieve the New York loft-style warehouse space they were after.
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.
