Before & After: East London Edwardian
The property is an Edwardian mid terrace family home in Lower Clapton.
The principle objective was to extend and reconfigure the existing ground floor kitchen and utility spaces to provide a single open plan kitchen, dining and living space with improved outlook and interface with the existing rear garden.
Before:
After:
A simple palette of materials and standard products are used throughout to provide a practical and traditional construction whilst also creating a simple modern aesthetic.
Double patio doors connect the kitchen to the rear garden; views to the garden from the new sitting area are framed by a new projecting window seat and access to the courtyard is provided by further double patio doors.

How can I turn my new London terrace into the perfect chill out zone?
Comments (12)Hi all, thank you very much for all your responses! @Studio D Interiors - thank you, I will definitely be using your website and Houzz profile for inspiration! @hatetoshop - I think I will use it most for just chilling out and entertaining rather than dining, especially given the unreliable British weather.... @Luciana - that blog is great, and definitely one I will be referring back to - thank you! @ASV Interiors - thank you for the book advice, I'll have a look for it this weekend!...See MoreEast London townhouse - advice on changes in kitchen?
Comments (14)Hi Josefina. It looks a fantastic space although you could do cartwheels down the middle :) If the laminate is firmly attached to the doors then you should be able to paint them. I like the idea of shelves on the main run if you have the budget for wall repairs. As Jonathan said you may end up with a hole in the larder (?) unit so may need to remove that unit and re-use the side panel on the base unit. I'd definitely remove the unit over the bin but would consider leaving the sink Ones for storage. I'd stick with the existing worktop, I don't know if you have previous experience of a concrete worktop but it doesn't sound easy and would need to check units could support I think. If you can I would also change the tap. I've seen green appear a few times in your ideabook so tried finding a pic with similar doors to see if you like them. Would also go with brass for handles. I might just use washable white paint on the walls to save money on a splashback. I must admit I like the fire and it's adding character so I wouldn't remove it personally however I would remove the fender and change the hearth. If not then I'd paint the stone or replace the surround. Is there room for a small round table for 4 beneath the light with either a glass table or clear acrylic chairs such as eames? A built in bookcase would be great next to the fire but it depends on your extension plans. If you watch tv I'd consider a small chaise sofa on the lhs with a tv opposite and chair in the corner nearest the kitchen to keep the bifold door free. Perhaps either a slim footstool or glass coffee table depending on seating needs. I might also paint the bifolds black :)...See MoreBefore & After: East London Garden Flat

Comments (1)Wow what a fabulous transformation. So glad you used the width of the house rather than just jutting out. I think it's such a waste when the whole width isn't used. Brilliant design! Shannon...See More
