Our clients, keen entertainers and art collectors with a growing family, sought to upgrade their cosy terraced cottage in Brackenbury Village into a comfortable home for both family life and entertaining. Given the compact nature of the house, our challenge was to create multifunctional spaces that could accommodate the everyday needs of a young family while also providing more formal settings for hosting friends and family, and showcasing their art collection.

A side return was added, significantly increasing the floorspace and flexibility of the space to the rear of the house and flooding the previously dark kitchen with light. The ground floor needed to work harder, we carefully integrated a galley utility room and guest WC to the core of the plan. At second floor an additional storey was added to the rear outrigger to provide a much needed bedroom.

We designed custom made joinery to provide clever storages solutions, including a bespoke window seat to the kitchen. The whole house was refurbished and beautiful materials and finishes chosen throughout, creating a cohesive home with a luxurious feel.
