The ground floor of this semi-detached Edwardian property was reconfigured and extended to provide a large broken-plan kitchen / dining / family space. An open shelving unit was designed to divide the family space, at the centre of the deep floor plan, from the kitchen dining area to the rear of the property. It allows natural light to filter through and helps to retain a sense of connectivity and flow between the adjacent rooms whilst still maintaining a degree of physical separation. Glazed doors were installed between the family space and the front reception room for the same reason. Externally an unusual brickwork detail to the rear extension adds visual interest.

This Edwardian property was extended and fully renovated to create a light and spacious family home. At ground floor level a side return extension was constructed, and a series of enclosed, gloomy rooms were opened up to improve both the visual and physical connections between the spaces. Large areas of glazing were introduced to flood the spaces with natural light and improve the outlook and access to the rear garden. The loft space was also converted to incorporate an additional bedroom with en-suite. Period features were restored or reintroduced where they had been lost over the years and a more contemporary aesthetic was employed in the newly formed open plan kitchen dining area.
The 1 bedroom ground floor flat of this Victorian property was reconfigured internally and extended to the rear to create a spacious 2 bedroom flat. Drawing inspiration from the materials and proportions of the existing period property, the rear extension was designed to sit sensitively within the local conservation area, whilst at the same time maximising internal space. An open plan kitchen / dining / living space was located within the new extension to allow direct access into the private rear garden.
