CURRENT PROJECT // From garage to kitchen

“Everything happens in the kitchen. Life happens in the kitchen.” Andrew Zimmern

Kitchens really are the heart of the home, but for the owners of this house, theirs felt disproportionately small and very separate from the main living area of the house. They wanted to use part of their garage to create a bigger, more sociable space to enjoy with their two young children and other family and friends. With an outdoor dining area already established, they also wanted to open up the rear of the house onto the patio space.

This works so well - extra living space without the cost and hassle of an extension and maintaining the size of their existing garden. We can’t wait to see this transformation take shape.

FURNITURE // Upholstery

When we’re not designing other people’s houses we enjoy getting involved in some more hands on creativity. We found this mid century chair in our local secondhand furniture shop, covered in a cheap black vinyl. We stripped it back, replaced the padding, brought the legs back to their former glory and upholstered it in a soft grey wool fabric. Finished off with the handmade bright yellow buttons, it was a welcome addition to our living room.

NEWS // Planning Permission Granted!

GREAT NEWS THIS WEEK :

Planning permission has been granted for the project we are working on in Froyle - improving the entrance to the house, opening up the back to create a much more usable, sociable space and adding a small extension to replace a poorly built conservatory.

We can’t wait to begin working on the detailed design and start talking to local builders.
