Browse 12 extension looks for a semi-D, which can grow sideways into the side land as well as back, then see what each one involves.
📍 We serve KL, Selangor & Putrajaya.
Unlike a terrace, a semi-D can extend sideways into the side land as well as backwards, and the new room gets windows on the open side. That opens up side family rooms, side wet kitchens, L-shaped wraps round the back corner and rooms over the car porch. The design questions are how the extension meets the twin's roof line, how far it may go into the side setback, and whether it keeps a path for upkeep along the boundary. These 12 concept designs show side and rear extensions for semi-Ds. Every extension needs approved plans before work starts.
Each design below is an illustrative concept render of a semi-D extension. Filter them by style or by side and rear extensions. Tap any image to enlarge it. Every card links to the ClickBina guide that covers the work behind that look.

side yard landscaping →These are illustrative concept designs created to show semi-D extension options. They are not completed ClickBina projects. We build side and rear extensions as part of our renovation work once the plans are approved, and your extension is assessed and quoted to its own lot, setbacks and structure.

A semi-D has three directions to grow in: back, sideways into the side land, and up over the porch or kitchen. The side is what makes it different from a terrace, because a side room can have real windows onto a side garden. The limits come from the council's setbacks on the open side, the drain or lane at the back, and the twin house joined to yours at the party wall.
For terraces, which can only go back or up, see the sibling terrace house extension gallery.

A side extension can take light from its own side windows, but a rear room or an L-shaped wrap can darken the old rooms behind it. A roof light along the old wall, or a small courtyard inside the L, keeps those rooms bright.
Where the new roof meets the old wall or the twin's roof, water finds its way in unless the junction is flashed properly; the roof flashing guide explains apron and step flashing. New footings next to the old house may need deeper foundations or piles; see the foundation guide.
ClickBina's corner and side land guide lists a side extension of 80 – 150 sq ft at RM20,000 – RM55,000 before consultant and council fees, and the rear kitchen extension guide puts a full rear extension at RM40,000 – RM120,000, with a wet kitchen adding RM10,000 – RM30,000.
For doors and light, the folding door guide puts a bi-fold or stacking sliding door at RM4,000 – RM12,000, and the skylight cost guide lists a basic fixed polycarbonate skylight at RM1,500 – RM4,000 and a mid-range fixed glass skylight at RM4,000 – RM9,000. These are indicative Klang Valley figures for 2026.
