This rear kitchen extension and complete ground floor refurbishment beautifully marries period heritage with modern, open-plan family living. By restructuring the layout, we created a light-filled hub that flows effortlessly from the elegant hallway into highly functional, zoned living spaces.

The open-plan kitchen extension
• The layout: a highly efficient, open-plan single-wall kitchen centered around a social, sage-green island.

• The materials: premium Calacatta quartz worktops and a full-height seamless splashback paired with an undermount sink.

• Indoor-outdoor flow: large-format honed limestone flooring, with cosy underfloor heating, runs flush through grey aluminium bi-fold doors out to the garden terrace.

• Architectural details: traditional London stock brickwork outside and twin architectural roof lanterns flooding the interior with natural light.

The zoned spaces
• The family snug: a relaxed pocket off the kitchen featuring warm wooden textures and organic jute accents.

• The utility room: a clever double-galley workspace featuring classic white Shaker cabinetry, custom curved end-panels and a deep ceramic sink.

• The home office: a smart, space-saving study with custom built-in cabinetry, an L-shaped desk and a hidden sliding pocket door.

• The hallway & cloakroom: an elegant entrance featuring premium engineered oak herringbone parquet, classic panel wainscoting and a sisal staicaser runner, leading to a bold teal and coral-patterned cloakroom.
