The Brief

The project also included an internal reconfiguration of the existing space to create a new kitchen dining area. The design included modern architectural details, including creative lighting and a clever use of both natural and artificial light sources to create a bright and welcoming space. The extension was seamlessly connected to the new terrace area through corner opening sliding doors, which also allowed for easy access and increased natural light to flow into the space. The attention to detail in the design, choice of materials and finishes, and the quality of the construction, resulted in a beautiful, functional, and stylish space that added significant value to the property. Overall, the completed project demonstrated an excellent combination of form and function, blending modern design with practical features to create a stunning living area that met the needs and desires of the property owner.

Key Challenges

The kitchen placement was completely flipped around to create open plan living.
The dining and living area was then incorporated with a garden facing room design to bring in as much light as possible.
Glass was used throughout the design to maximise light, but with careful planning to avoid glare by focusing on wall reflection rather than direct sunlight.

Favourite Feature

The connection to the garden through the reconfiguration of living spaces and activities. Corner bifold doors were used to maximise the light all around the extension and brightened up the family’s living space.

What We Delivered
