This house extension and refurbishment
transforms a Victorian terraced property in
a Highbury conservation area. The brief was
to create open plan spaces with an improved
relationship to the garden, and a kitchen
that could be enjoyed as a social space. The
original kitchen was dark, and had a very low
ceiling height of just over two metres.
Works included the demolition of the poor
quality conservatory and original rear
rooms at both ground and first floors.
This allowed a double height space to be
created in the new kitchen.
A bespoke polished stainless steel
chandelier adds drama and the reflections
emphasise the verticality of the double
height space. Polished stainless finishes
are continued internally with a recessed
stainless display case and externally with
cladding details.
