This Lambeth house extension improves a Victorian property that originally had a dark kitchen with unsatisfactory views of the garden. A side return and rear extension create a light, spacious home for a growing family. The new space provides sufficient width for an island unit and dining table, allowing the kitchen to function as a social room.
The smaller, easy access door to the garden was designed with the family dog in mind. A polished concrete floor forms a hard wearing, wipe clean surface that also accommodates pets well. This extends into the garden, providing a terrace and uniting interior and exterior spaces. New landscaping and garden fences complete the external space.
