Picture

Although the building was extended by only a metre, the overall appearance was of a completely new, much larger house.

Re-orientation house

"When the workmen left we felt as if we had a completely new and much larger house."
This large detached house has marvellous living rooms, but suffered from a kitchen which had originally been the servants' quarters. 

The solution was conversion of the unused double garage to a generous top lit kitchen/dining area opening onto the sun deck. These changes liberated the previous dining room to become a dedicated nursery and play space.
