The extension and refurbishment of this house in Hackney were carefully planned around the opening up of the rear of the ground floor of the property, the landscaping and the creation of three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. It was designed to be contemporary, but at the same time, maintaining the integrity of its Victorian architecture. We gained planning permission for large roof lights, expansive glass doors at the rear and a wonderful oriel glass window, which provides a cosy place to sit in the kitchen, and at the same time, projects itself into the garden space. The use of interesting finishes and colour palettes, some bold and some subtle, create much interest, and interplays with our clients own personal style. The interior architecture and decoration together make this one of our favourite design projects, unique and at the same time very homely.
Window Seat
Designing a window seat into the scheme of a room can be a way of utilising an awkward space or creating something out of nothing! This is the perfect example of the latter. In the absence of a breakfast bar the addition of a window seat has created a place to sit closer to the person in the kitchen. It’s introduction also gave us the opportunity to add textiles and colour, injecting instant style into the space. Window seats are always popular, providing nooks for reading, taking in the outdoors, and a different perspective.
