This traditional Victorian property needed new life breathing into it to meet the needs of a growing family.
A ground-floor extension allowed for total transformation of the kitchen/dining area, creating a seamless link between inside and out.

This has transformed an area of our house where it was traditionally very difficult for us to be able to live. Now, our family comes to life on the ground floor.
Ben is phenomenal at what he does. He really understood our brief and added two extra rooms, through a blend of wizardry I’m still amazed by. Other people on our road are very jealous!
Family-life was the key consideration throughout this project, but practicality did not come at the cost of style.
We enlarged the kitchen space with the timber-framed extension, using warm and tactile materials such as clay render, oak and terrazzo throughout to create a bold and colourful interior.
High shelves are integrated between the timber structure to display items beyond the reach of small hands, while an inside/outside bench creates an adaptable seating area, providing a contemplative spot in winter and a sociable link to the garden in summer.
