The renovation has diluted the boundary between the interior and exterior with a contemporary rear extension to create a unified social space suitable for its residents. Through thoughtful design, Coffey Architects has provided a three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence that is suited to contemporary London living.
The renovation has simplified the layout and made better use of the existing space. The previous arrangement of bedrooms and bathrooms at the front of the property has been simplified through the use of a chamfered access passage defining the route from the front of the property to the rear living spaces and extension, and adding an extra element of finesse.
The contemporary rear extension creates an open, social space creating a connection to the garden. As the extension is north facing, creative design solutions have been incorporated to increase the feeling of space and light. All materials are white or pale to complement the sense of brightness and space and hints of luxury.
It also features a bespoke dining table and kitchen island, which allows users to view the garden. Mirrors are placed in a way to blur the separation between the interior and exterior. The bespoke dining table is designed to create a direction to the new extension as it completes the linear composition with the kitchen-island and adjacent mirror. Angled legs suggest and encourage movement within the living space into the kitchen.
A 20 mili metre white/grey marble has been employed for kitchen-island and splash-backs, while Dinesen Douglas Fir has been used for wood flooring, Allgood for Ironmongery and Hansgrohe for brassware.
