- 3 min read
A newly built extension deserves an outdoor space that complements it perfectly.
After completing their extension, this homeowner wanted a modern patio that would seamlessly connect the house to the garden while making the change in levels both practical and attractive.
For this project in Redhill, we designed and installed a contemporary porcelain patio complete with bespoke wraparound steps, creating a stylish outdoor space that matches the high-quality finish of the new extension.
The Brief
The customer had recently completed a house extension with large bifold doors opening onto the garden. However, there was a noticeable drop from the extension down to the existing garden level.
They wanted a safe and elegant solution that would:
Create easy access from both sets of bifold doors.
Tie the new extension into the garden.
Deliver a clean, modern finish.
Provide a durable patio for relaxing and entertaining.
What We Did
To achieve the desired result, we:
Installed a stunning Jupiter White porcelain patio using large 600 x 900 porcelain tiles.
Built bespoke wraparound mitred steps around both sets of bifold doors to overcome the change in levels.
Added a charcoal block paving edging to frame the patio and create a striking contrast.
Carefully aligned every tile to produce a crisp, seamless finish.
Created a spacious patio that's perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining.
The Finished Result
The completed patio perfectly complements the customer's new extension.
The bright Jupiter White porcelain reflects natural light and creates a fresh, contemporary appearance, while the charcoal edging provides definition and contrast that really makes the paving stand out.
One of the standout features of this project is the bespoke wraparound step detail surrounding both bifold doors. Rather than using standard straight steps, the mitred design creates a premium finish that blends beautifully with the extension and provides safe, comfortable access into the garden.
The result is a clean, elegant outdoor space that feels like a natural extension of the home and is ideal for entertaining, relaxing or enjoying family time outdoors.
Why Porcelain Is Perfect for Modern Homes
Porcelain paving has become one of the most popular choices for contemporary gardens, and it's easy to see why.
It offers a sleek, luxurious appearance while being exceptionally durable and easy to maintain. Unlike natural stone, porcelain is highly resistant to staining, fading and algae growth, helping it retain its appearance for years with very little maintenance.
When paired with modern extensions and bifold doors, porcelain creates a seamless indoor-outdoor feel that adds both style and value to your property.
