The Brief This project aimed to redefine the home’s functionality and atmosphere by moving away from uniform room proportions, creating a more dynamic spatial experience. The primary objectives were to maximise natural light in key areas, particularly the central staircase and kitchen, and to optimise room sizes while maintaining a cohesive flow. A crucial aspect of the brief involved navigating planning constraints to extend the kitchen space, ensuring it became more practical and inviting for family life. The Design To address the limited daylight, a full-length glass roof was installed over the expanded kitchen, flooding the space with natural light and transforming it into the heart of the home. For the central staircase, a large roof light was introduced, paired with a glass staircase, allowing sunlight to cascade down to the ground floor. The design embraced a raw yet inviting aesthetic by exposing construction details such as bricks, joists, and floorboards, adding texture and warmth to the interiors. This was further complemented by oversized, curvaceous furniture, which softened the industrial elements and enhanced the home’s inviting feel. An unexpected architectural highlight is the double-height void between the first and top floors, which adds visual drama and enhances the sense of openness. These carefully considered interventions transformed the house into a vibrant, light-filled space that meets the family’s needs while elevating its architectural character.

When planning their knock-down rebuild, the clients asked Horizon Homes for lots of natural light, and a fireplace. They also said entertaining was important – and that’s reflected in the gorgeous shaker-style kitchen with breakfast bar, pantry and wine room, all located together. The open plan kitchen, dining, family and lounge room, lead onto an al fresco entertaining area with outdoor kitchen.

Bespoke alcove shelving, with closed cupboards at the bottom maximised storage in this compact living room. Wooden flooring replaced the old damaged floor in a lighter colour, with a pale green for the shelving chosen to enhance the light. The ceiling was pulled down, repaired and replaced. Edward Bulmer paint was chosen for its compatibility with an old building such as this.

The lounge in a beautifully renovated barn was in dia need of some TLC. It was dark and ill used. Once the beams were lightened and a velux was fitted the room started taking shape. This L-shaped room needed to be re configured. Creating a library area with bespoke shelving and a seating area opposite has given this part of the room a new lease of life. Making use of all of the nooks and crannies has meant that the room has a few choices of area to sit. The deep return to the right of the fireplace was crying out for an accent chair, shelving and floor lamp. Column radiators really finished the project off.
