This project formed part of a rear extension designed to transform the ground floor into a bright, expansive social setting. The brief centred around creating a kitchen that felt open, airy and connected to the garden, with full-length picture windows stretching across the rear elevation to maximise natural light.
While the space was to be highly sociable — incorporating a defined dining area and a relaxed sofa zone — the client was equally clear that cooking functionality could not be compromised. The kitchen needed to perform efficiently, with a layout that supported everyday use while remaining visually calm within the wider open-plan environment.
Exposed brickwork was retained as a key architectural feature, adding warmth and character against the otherwise light and contemporary palette.
The ambition was to achieve a seamless blend of industrial texture and modern refinement — a space that feels welcoming and effortless by day, yet atmospheric and intimate as evening draws in.
