We were invited by longtime clients to reimagine their family home, which we had first extended in 2003. What began as a simple refresh soon grew into a full transformation shaped around how the family lives today and how their needs have evolved.

From the outset, we focused on understanding their daily routines—creating better space for entertaining, a quiet snug for relaxation, and a kitchen that could work harder for family life. A major success was securing permission for a first-floor home office above the kitchen, adding valuable space in an area where planning approval is often challenging.

Working in close collaboration with Child Stewart Interior Design, we redesigned the house throughout, including a new master suite and nursery. A dramatic pitched ceiling now brings height and light to the dining area, while the reconfigured kitchen sits comfortably beneath the new office. Outside, a new terrace with a built-in BBQ kitchen and a much-loved window seat strengthens the connection to the garden.

The result is a warm, refined and highly functional home—carefully tailored to support the family’s next chapter.
