Extension in Hulst: A Thoughtfully Designed Expansion of the Living Space

This extension in Hulst was realized to significantly enlarge the home and improve everyday living comfort. The project formed part of a broader renovation program but was executed as an independent construction phase, including all structural and internal works. The objective was clear: to create additional space that does not feel like a “new build,” but rather as a logical and harmonious continuation of the existing house.

From the outset, an approach was chosen in which functionality, aesthetics, and speed had to be perfectly balanced. Thanks to thorough preparation and tight planning, the entire process was carried out efficiently.

Design Choices: Light, Openness, and Logical Layout

A key starting point for this extension was maximizing natural daylight. Through the use of large skylights and carefully positioned window openings, the space benefits from abundant natural light throughout the day. This not only enhances the sense of space but also contributes to a pleasant living environment.

The layout was deliberately kept open. The extension functions as an extension of the main living area and offers sufficient flexibility for various uses, such as a spacious kitchen-diner, dining area, or additional seating space. The transition between the existing home and the extension is seamless, with no visible breaks in floor levels or finishes.

Construction Process and Technical Execution

Grand Renovation was responsible for the entire construction process—from foundation and load-bearing structure to insulation and final finishes. During construction, special attention was paid to thermal performance and airtightness, ensuring that the extension meets modern living standards.

All installations, including electrical systems and lighting, were fully integrated into the design. This results in a clean, uncluttered final appearance without visible technical elements. The ceilings were carefully finished and fitted with recessed spotlights, contributing to a calm and modern aesthetic.

Interior Finishes and Materials

For the interior finishing, durable and low-maintenance materials were selected. The flooring connects seamlessly with the rest of the home, reinforcing a sense of unity. Walls and ceilings are finished in neutral tones, keeping the space light, timeless, and adaptable.

The chosen materials not only add aesthetic value but also ensure long-term comfort and durability. As a result, the extension is not just a visual enhancement, but also a functional investment in the property.
