Is this the right thread for design inspo ideas for an extension or better in the extension thread?
Our 1920s semi has a drop from floor level to garden level (about 1.5m maybe) - we currently have a patio which overlooks the garden but I'm wondering if an extension will be too difficult (read: expensive) given the height drop. Has anyone seen any good examples of extensions dealing with this?
Broadly I guess we either have an interior (few) steps down to a new room, so that room is closer to garden level, or build (I guess expensive) reinforced foundations to build out at the same level - which will also mean it sticks out pretty high compared to the surrounding area / gardens?
