Christmas 2024: Do You Need Space to Celebrate?

Your Home During Christmas 2024
Christmas is a special time of year when families come together to create lasting memories. Whether you celebrate by hosting festive parties, enjoying religious traditions, sharing a long-awaited Christmas dinner, or simply relaxing on the sofa with Christmas movies and games, having a comfortable space that works for you is paramount.
As we gather during this joyous season, many of us find that our kitchen, dining, and living areas feel cramped. These spaces are often the heart of our celebrations, but they may not always meet our needs. If you’re feeling the squeeze during Christmas 2024, now is the perfect time to consider a home extension as part of your New Year’s resolutions for 2025. Whether you’re preparing for a special birthday party, planning to host friends regularly, or simply want more room for family activities like cooking and dining together, creating a space for your celebrations is within reach!
How Extending Your Home Can Create Endless Possibilities
A home extension can provide tailored spaces that align with your goals. By expanding key areas within your home, you can reconfigure existing layouts to include additional rooms like a study or an extra bathroom. At Rowett Architecture, we view extensions as personal projects. They should integrate into your home, enhancing your lifestyle, and reflecting your tastes and needs. Our mission is to bring you the spaces that you and your loved ones will truly enjoy, maybe not for Christmas 2024—we can’t wrangle Planning that quickly—but certainly for years to come.
Featured Project: Levalsa Mere, London Apprentice
This project at Levalsa Mere in London Apprentice is a great example of how a kitchen extension can transform your home into a welcoming space for entertaining. This design creates an inviting atmosphere that balances openness with intimacy. The kitchen flows into the gathering area, welcoming guests while maintaining a sense of seclusion. A mezzanine floor above adds potential for a cosy dining space and connection with the upper floor. We enhanced features of the existing home, like exposing the former external stone walls, to create a harmonious blend of old and new.

A Proposed Visualisation of a Living Room Extension
This project visualisation represents a space designed for adaptability, ideal for those who host special events like Christmas Day gatherings but don’t regularly entertain large groups. The concept of an open-plan space allows for seamless transitions between intimate and expansive layouts, offering the best of both worlds.
Flexible Design Features
- Adaptable Layout: This space can be easily segregated or opened up to suit different needs.
- Temporary Partitions: Use of movable furniture or partitions to create distinct areas when desired.
- Cornish Connection: Large windows capture views of the surrounding woodland, bringing nature into every family gathering.
Versatile Functionality
- Cosy Lounge: Close-off sections for a more intimate and private setting.
- Impressive Entertaining Area: Open up the entire space for larger gatherings.
- Indoor-Outdoor Flow: Incorporate sliding or bi-fold doors to extend the living area into the garden.
By combining these elements, the extension becomes a multi-functional space that adapts to your lifestyle. Whether you’re curling up with family on a quiet evening or hosting a festive gathering, this versatile living room extension offers the perfect backdrop for creating lasting memories in your Cornish home.
