An open and minimal space—perfect for family life, where the kids can pull out their toys and stay connected to the kitchen. By evening, it transforms into a cosy retreat for music and relaxation. A bespoke wall unit houses the owners’ extensive vinyl collection. The deep plywood window seat invites you to pause and take in the view, with built-in drawers providing smart storage for toys and everyday clutter. A natural material palette, accented with pops of colour, keeps the space warm and inviting, while slatted panels enhance acoustic comfort in this open-plan setting.

The perfect space for living and entertaining! Kitchen, diner, lounge and formal dining all in one room with a fabulous view. The new extension bringing light to the space and framing the garden. The bespoke kitchen and furniture making this space unique to the clients for a timeless look.

The living room forms a key part of the new open-plan ground floor, designed as a generous, flexible family space within the wraparound extension. Positioned to flow seamlessly from the kitchen and dining areas, the living space is designed for everyday family life—relaxing, playing and spending time together. Its scale allows it to comfortably accommodate the needs of a busy household, from quiet evenings to more active, shared use.

The formal lounge blends classic character with refined modern details, creating a welcoming yet sophisticated atmosphere. A pair of soft linen sofas arranged around a marble coffee table form the central seating area, set atop a richly patterned rug that anchors the space with warmth and tradition. Natural light pours in from the adjoining conservatory, where glass doors open to an additional sitting area overlooking the garden. Contemporary elements — such as the timber slatted feature wall, circular pendant light, and bespoke illuminated shelving — bring balance and texture, while curated artworks and plants add a personal, homely touch. The room flows effortlessly between old and new, formal and casual, making it ideal for both quiet retreats and family gatherings.
