There are generally two approaches to extensions and additions: either make them as seamless with the existing structure as possible or create a contrast with the original building.
The brick and tile garage extension featured here is a perfect example of the former approach. This home originally had a two-bay garage and Gilmore Homes & Builders were given the task of extending this to three bays while retaining the original character. The end result is perfectly seamless, with the only visible difference being a slight change in hue of the roof tiles.
