Great video, I really like the idea of having the outside seating then the garden rather than a trek down the garden to the outdoor seating.

Your first 2 examples at 1:12 are Dutch houses. That is how the vast majority of terraced or semi-detached houses (typically in the 70s and 80s) were designed in the Netherlands, not extensions. Mostly they are just storage rooms accessible from the kitchen or hallway inside the house. Either used as pantry, extra space for a 2nd fridge or freezer, cleaning materials or bicycles.

Well spotted. I needed copyright free images for the video, I use Envato Elements for this and they just don’t have that many images of homes in the UK. That said, Dutch home design is not that different from many homes built in the UK from the same period.
