Transformation of our Notting Hill Project | Dining
What started as a disproportionately large hallway, an oversized WC and a small kitchen dining at the rear of the house was rethought entirely to make better use of every square metre.
We completely reconfigured the ground floor, creating a generous dining area directly adjacent to the kitchen. This transformed the way the space could be used, creating a much more natural setting for entertaining, sharing meals and spending time with family.
Sliding doors between the kitchen and dining area allow the spaces to remain open and connected, or be closed off when needed.
We carefully integrated a home office at the front of the floor, while the previously unused space beneath the staircase became a practical utility and plant room.
The entire floor was, in many ways, a puzzle of how to make every part of the house work harder. Through careful planning and coordination, we were able to maximise the available space without compromising the feeling of calm and openness.
For us, good design is about much more than how a home looks. It’s about making sure every space has a purpose and that the way a home functions feels as considered as the way it looks.
The result is a ground floor that feels calm, cohesive and effortless, while working beautifully for everyday family life and entertaining.
Swipe to see the before.
