The Problem
Almost all of our clients are seeking to gain more natural light. And none more than those who live in basement and lower level accommodation. This project was no exception, and was also our third undertaken on this attractive Victorian street. As such we were very familiar with the opportunities and limitations that these properties afford.
The Solution
Our concept focussed on a contemporary glass box which floods the new kitchen and living area in natural light. This box not only creates a design statement but also blurs the boundary between outside and in. A generous roof light over the kitchen and dining area serves to optimise natural light for food preparation and eating. Then for the living area we have attractive glazed doors leading on to the patio to provide a pleasant outlook.
The Results
Further in to the property our plans provided space for bedrooms and a bathroom. Here we gave careful consideration to artificial light to provide a more intimate and exclusive atmosphere. Wooden floorboards separate the kitchen from the hallway whilst bringing a warmth to this inviting flat.
