MINUTIAE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS
Home Extension Designs in Wiltshire
Carefully considered extensions and alterations that feel natural, functional and tailored to your lifestyle.
Extensions & Alterations for Better Living
At Minutiae Architectural Design, we create carefully considered house extensions and alterations that improve the way you live. Based in Salisbury and working across Wiltshire, we design spaces that feel natural, functional, and tailored to your home and lifestyle.
Whether you’re planning a kitchen extension, open-plan living space, a side extension or a complete reconfiguration of your home, we approach every project with creativity, technical expertise and close attention to detail.
Our aim is simple: to help you unlock the full potential of your property with designs that are practical, beautifully resolved, and built around the way you actually live.
Home Extensions Designed For You
No two homes or families are the same. Every extension we design is bespoke to your property, your lifestyle, and your long-term plans. We take time to understand how you use your space now, what isn’t working, and how thoughtful design can improve day-to-day living.

Ways We Can Transform Your Home
Whether you’re looking to create additional living space, improve your home’s layout, or better connect your indoor and outdoor spaces, we provide a range of extension and alteration design services tailored to your needs. From single-storey extensions and open-plan kitchen living areas to double-storey additions and internal reconfigurations, we help homeowners across Salisbury and Wiltshire unlock the full potential of their properties.
Kitchen Extensions & Open‑Plan Living
We design open, light‑filled spaces that improve flow, create stronger connections to outdoor spaces, and provide flexible areas for cooking, dining, relaxing, and entertaining.
- Natural light and glazing
- Spatial flow and circulation
- Ceiling heights and proportions
- Storage and practicality
- Views to the garden
- Structural feasibility
- Energy efficiency and thermal performance
The result is a space that feels cohesive, balanced, and genuinely enjoyable to live in.
Alterations & Internal Reconfiguration
Sometimes the biggest improvement comes from rethinking the space you already have. Alongside extensions, we design internal alterations that improve layout, circulation, natural light, and overall usability.
- Removing internal walls
- Reconfiguring kitchens and living spaces
- Improving connections between rooms
- Creating utility rooms and boot rooms
- Better use of underutilised areas
- Structural alterations and openings
A thoughtful redesign can make a home feel significantly larger and more functional without dramatically increasing its footprint.
Single Storey Extensions
Single storey extensions are a practical way to expand your living space while improving the overall functionality of your home.
Whether extending to the rear, side, or wrapping around the property, we carefully consider how the extension connects with the existing building both internally and externally.
Our designs focus on creating spaces that feel naturally integrated rather than simply added on.
Alterations & Internal Reconfiguration
Sometimes the biggest improvement comes from rethinking the space you already have. Alongside extensions, we design internal alterations that improve layout, circulation, natural light, and overall usability.
- Removing internal walls
- Reconfiguring kitchens and living spaces
- Improving connections between rooms
- Creating utility rooms and boot rooms
- Better use of underutilised areas
- Structural alterations and openings
A thoughtful redesign can make a home feel significantly larger and more functional without dramatically increasing its footprint.
Double Storey Extensions
A well‑designed double storey extension can completely transform a property, adding valuable floor space while improving the layout of the entire home.
We design two‑storey extensions that balance practicality, appearance, and planning considerations. Ensuring that the additions complement the character and proportions of the original property.
From additional bedrooms and bathrooms to larger family living spaces, every project is carefully developed to maximise both functionality and long‑term value.
