Pitched roof side garage extension.

The upper portion of the roof is heavily pitched and the lower slope is gently pitched. 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. It is a complex framing style that can be or usually is a variation of the hip roof but a gable home may also make use of bonnet frame. The gable wall to your home is an external wall once it projects through the new pitched roof over the garage.

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. As pictured above it is likely to extend much further than a mansard besides having the lower pitched slope on the bottom. While the extension features a modern steel structure and a large amount of glazing the roof features stone slates to provide a sympathetic nod to the original cottage. A single pitch roof can make a side return feel loftier inside and look attractive viewed from the garden.

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. Pitched roofs have a more traditional appearance while a flat roof can appear sleeker. But flat glazed roofs or one with a series of rooflights can be equally as effective. The pitch of the extension s roof complements the original building creating a sense of harmony between the two elements.
