This project saw the transformation of a traditional Victorian terrace from a series of dark, disconnected rooms into a vibrant, light-filled home.
Similar to many Victorian terraces, the house had a galley kitchen connecting to a ground floor bathroom extension. This awkward layout made the kitchen a corridor with poor access to the rear garden. By relocating the bathroom and extending the kitchen into the garden we were able to create a light filled kitchen, a modern bathroom and lots of storage - essential for a family home.
Inspired by the inviting warmth of a farmhouse kitchen, the design is anchored by a central dining table. This isn't just a place to cook; it’s a focal point for family life—from the breakfast rush to slow weekend lunches. Floor-to-ceiling sliding yellow doors give a flash of colour, but function to pull natural light deep into the kitchen, creating a seamless transition to the rear garden.
