A large renovation project restoring a three story town house in Primrose Hill back into a single dwelling. The client purchased the ground floor flat to suit their growing family and create a ground floor family kitchen which opened out onto a beautiful garden. We designed and built a mud room entrance, expansive kitchen and utility space, children’s playroom as well as a self contained bedroom in a new garden summer house. We converted the original kitchen on the first floor into a study and designed a new toddlers bedroom fit for a little prince. We added a beautiful open staircase with double height window to connect the new lower ground space with the rest of the property. Our design doesn’t just stop on the inside, we had an extensive input into the garden design and worked closely to create a seamless flow from inside to out. Our design process is never a one sizes fits all and we take the time to get to know exactly what our clients need from us. Our lovely Primrose Hill client’s focus on wellness was at the forefront of the design as we selected soft and organic materials for a scheme built around nature. The kitchen became the main hub of the house and we spent a great deal of time perfecting each and every detail for this young growing family. We designed the kitchen in-house with no stone left unturned and then submitted this design to Neptune, famous for their craftsmanship. We love how the contrast oak island complements the soft palette and connects with the outdoors. With Primrose Hill just on the doorstep, we are so pleased to see how this light and airy scheme connects our clients new home with their passion for the outdoors.

It was important to the client to have an adaptable space which could facilitate their growing family to allows for children’s play come daytime but a space for the nanny to sleep come night. The Fermoie fabric curtains provide a cosy blackout for family cinema nights and the oversize armchair is the perfect place for reading books post dinner time.

An art wall filled to the rafters with our client’s expansive collection but nestled into the middle is a secret Samsung Frame TV ready for those Friday night cinema nights. We used open storage solutions practical for little people.

Bespoke joinery with vasts amount of storage utilising every inch of space. We recessed the shelves behind the chimney breast to house toys both old and new. This day bed transforms from a space to read books and watch films into a super king size bed fit for those impromptu sleepovers.

Connecting the old and new. This staircase connects the client’s original home upstairs with this new addition on the lower ground floor. We added a double height window to help the spaces feel as one plus the added benefit of beautiful sunshine flooding in. We opted for a light and bright engineered wood from Trunk Flooring to ensure mucky footprints can be easily wiped away.

We replaced the original bay windows with floor to ceiling openings to flood even more light into this space. The dining table connects beautiful with the garden opening out onto a terrace and we designed full height breakfast cabinets to help with morning chaos.

The right hand side bifold cabinet acts as a pantry for family cooking. We carefully planned out each area and learnt how this client likes to cook before we got creative with this space. We love to tailor each and every room to how our families function and their future aspirations.
