We tweaked the architects plans 'just' prior to the build starting, which in turn allowed us to improve on their kitchen ideas – this included the full width locker storage, now possible as we removed an intended side window above the sink – the only sacrifice was view of the close-by neighbours fence with no real light benefit! Our solution was to replace the window with a cheaper and much more impressive, light-reflecting ‘slot' mirror! We also designed and planned the integrated bench seating with storage below and the dining table. As well as bar area. All the kitchen surfaces & finishes were specified to link with other materials giving a flow throughout the interior – including flooring, window treatments & lighting. Layout & furniture ideas for the casual day-lounge, TV & desk area completed this large extension, making it welcoming for the whole family.
