LivinRoom Extension
Location: Poole, Dorset
Project Description
In this project, Richard Thomas Conservatories, Extensions, and Windows transformed a home in Poole with a bespoke LivinROOM extension, complete with a structural knockthrough and RSJ installation to create a stunning open-plan kitchen and living space.
The homeowners wanted to replace a cramped layout with a bright, spacious area that would become the heart of the home. By installing a structural steel RSJ, our experienced team safely removed the dividing wall between the existing property and the new extension, creating one large, seamless room that is perfect for modern family life.
The LivinROOM extension combines the light and openness of a conservatory with the comfort and appearance of a traditional extension. Featuring a solid perimeter roof with glazed panels, the new space is filled with natural light while maintaining outstanding thermal performance throughout the year.
Working closely with the homeowners, our design team created an extension that complements the property’s existing architecture while delivering a contemporary kitchen, dining and living area ideal for everyday living and entertaining.
Design Features
- LivinROOM Roof System – Combining the benefits of a conservatory and a solid extension, providing excellent thermal efficiency with plenty of natural daylight.
- Structural Knockthrough & RSJ Installation – Expertly installed steel beam to create a large, open-plan kitchen and living space.
- Open-Plan Living – A spacious layout that enhances family life and creates a natural flow between the original home and the extension.

The Results
The completed LivinROOM extension has created a bright, spacious open-plan kitchen and family room that has become the centrepiece of the home. The structural knockthrough has dramatically improved the flow of the property, while the LivinROOM roof provides the perfect balance of natural light and year-round comfort.
