Flowing in from the garden courtyard , a small casual living area comprising of a soft grey wool sofa and a red entertainment centre , connects to a large kitchen diner . Here , bespoke under stair joinery optimises kitchen storage alongside housing a wine fridge and concealing white goods whilst creating a streamlined , contemporary aesthetic . Sleek , pale grey and black kitchen cabinetry are paired with a Kelite work surface . A large central kitchen island also in a mid-grey tone with matching slate-coloured work surface showcases a large spider burner stove with a small rustic wooden breakfast bar and grey woollen bar stools .
Introducing a further flash of colour , red velvet dining chairs surround a slate grey table offering a more formal place to dine . Just off from this more formal eating space , TR Studio created a bespoke double height library designed by the practice for the client ’ s extensive book collection . Connecting both lower and upper ground floors through the use of a glass ceiling / walk-on glass floor , the library is a visual statement and clever device to maximise light flow , linking the spaces and providing a sense of spaciousness . Mirroring the rear Crittal style glazing , sliding glass doors separate the open plan space from a secondary living space and den located at the front of the property .

The use of natural light was crucial to the project to ensure that the lower ground floor was bright and airy . By creating one continuous level and utilising zoning for the kitchen diner and casual living area , the studio created a generous and useable space for the whole family . www . refurbandrestore . co . uk - 41
