The contractor provided a video update of our ongoing internal refurbishment project for a residence in Kingston. The client initially engaged us in 2024, requesting concepts to optimise the ground floor layout. Situated within a conservation area and featuring no previous extensions, any changes to the property required careful consideration.
Approximately thirty years ago, following their purchase, the client undertook minor renovations and layout changes. Additional historical structural modifications included the removal of a structural wall and chimney in the current kitchen area.
In collaboration with the client, we explored relocating the kitchen towards the front of the house, enabling the dining and seating areas to be positioned at the rear. Our design includes new Crittall doors opening onto the garden, as well as double doors between the existing main corridor and the new rear-facing seating area.
We also proposed relocating the WC and utility room to a more discreet position, ensuring unobstructed views of the rear garden. Consequently, one of the two reception rooms at the front was modestly reduced in size, restoring its symmetry.
