To transform the kitchen 
into a much larger living

fit in a downstairs WC. and to create clearly delineated areas; a lounge space, a dining space and a very functional kitchen

Bringing the Outside Inside

The Issue

Garden access was past a 
brick built store down the 
side of house 

No sight line to the garden creating a disconnect 
between inside and out 

Rear living room with no view

Added a high quality covered area with heating and lighting and original wall art 

Added fixed seating, storage and raised planting to the garden

“We love the outside room 
it works seamlessly with 
the interior living space… 
the house and garden 
feel bigger and we are 
using the garden 
all year round”
