The brief
Combining Style and Functionality
The design included a full-width, glazed rear extension to open up the living areas to the garden, and a first-floor extension was also required. The family required a show kitchen central to the home where they could entertain. They also required a secondary kitchen for cooking and containing culinary aromas. Another key requirement was a cosy reading nook. We ensured there were garden views from the dining and living spaces, which completed the home extension.

The challenges
Understanding the Family’s Lifestyle
The main challenge was designing a home that reflected the family’s routines, hobbies, and passions. By carefully considering their needs, we crafted a home that met their desires for style, functionality, and comfort, exceeding their expectations.
