TIMBER KITCHEN

THIS VICTORIAN TERRACE EXTENSION WAS ON A STEEP HILLTOP SITE. MAXIMISING EVERY INCH OF AVAILABLE SPACE IN THIS COMPACT PROJECT, WE FOUND SPACE FOR A WC, STEPPED THE APPROACH TO THE KITCHEN AND ADDED FURTHER STEPS DOWN TO THE DINING AREA FROM THE KITCHEN. THIS CREATED AN INVITING SEATING NOOK FOR THE FAMILY WITH USEFUL STORAGE UNDERNEATH. IMPORTANT WAS THE CONNECTION TO THE LUSH TERRACED GARDEN AND A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO MATERIALS SELECTION TO CREATE A BIOPHILIC SPACE FLOODED WITH NATURAL LIGHT AND THE UNEXPECTED JOY OF SHADOW-PLAY THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
