Project Description

This 1970’s semi-detached bungalow has been transformed into a strikingly contemporary award-winning family house. The 2-bedroom bungalow was devoid of natural light because the corridor running through the middle of the house prevented any shared light from front to back.

Our solution was to rethink open plan living by creating a kitchen that is a bespoke piece of furniture and positioning it in the centre of the house, front and central. The green ‘C’ wall provided some privacy and acoustic protection to the living room whilst retaining views and light spill.

Replacing the roof allowed us to create a double height space above the living room, with a feature staircase and a mezzanine.
