The brief
The owners loved their brick house but not the narrow kitchen at the back. It had one small window, no room for two cooks and a door to the garden that nobody used.
What we did
- We removed a wall between the kitchen and an old pantry to make one long room. A new beam carries the load, hidden inside the ceiling.
- The window was widened to match the originals at the front of the house. A glass door now opens straight onto the garden.
- Tall green cabinets hold the fridge, the pantry and a coffee station. The island is white oak with a honed limestone top.
The result
The kitchen now gets light from two sides all day. The family eats at the island most nights and uses the garden door every day.
