This project marks a major transformation of a Surrey family home, where a new single-storey rear extension dramatically improves how the property is used, experienced, and valued. The redesign introduces a spacious open-plan kitchen, a dedicated utility and pantry area, and an additional ground-floor bathroom—features that significantly upgrade the home’s practicality and everyday comfort.
By reworking the layout with precision and care, the extension enhances functionality and increases the long-term property value, bringing a level of refinement and usability that the original footprint could not offer.
MMHM Structures Ltd delivered the full structural engineering package for this scheme. Our role centred on developing a tailor-fitted structural design that aligned with the client’s goals, complemented the architect’s vision, and respected the project’s budget—ensuring structural excellence without compromising the desired high-end finish. Every structural choice was considered to support clarity of space, discreet detailing, and long-term performance.
The structural strategy emphasised openness, practicality, and architectural cohesion. All required load-bearing elements were engineered to be fully concealed, maintaining clean interior lines while upholding the strength and stability essential for a modern rear extension.
Key structural elements include:
At MMHM Structures Ltd, we prioritise a client-centred, value-driven engineering philosophy, creating bespoke structural solutions that meet technical criteria while supporting architectural ambition. For the Tanglyn Avenue extension, this meant designing a system that achieved openness and practicality while protecting the indoor aesthetic the client envisioned.
Through continuous collaboration with the architectural team, we ensured every structural element was placed intentionally—hidden within walls, aligned with detailed joinery, and refined to maximise usable space. The resulting design balances efficiency, safety, buildability, and elegance.
A Home Elevated Through Engineering: The new extension dramatically improves the home’s daily usability, providing generous open-plan living and essential service spaces. The redesign increases both the functional quality of the home and its market value.
Invisible Engineering, Visible Quality: All structural supports were designed to remain out of sight, creating a visually calm environment. Despite their concealment, these elements provide the strength and reliability expected from a professionally engineered residential extension.
Integrated Architectural & Structural Design: The close partnership between MMHM Structures Ltd and the architectural team allowed the structural design to elevate the architectural intent rather than limit it. This ensures a cohesive result that performs beautifully—both visually and structurally.
Tailor-Fitted, Cost-Conscious Structural Solutions: This project highlights our commitment to delivering structural engineering that is efficient, finely tuned to the client’s needs, and respectful of financial boundaries. By avoiding unnecessary complexity, we achieve premium outcomes that remain structurally sound, economical, and future-proof.
