A refurbishment and extension to a mid-terrace house in Cardiff, home to a couple who needed the house to suit their social and work-life needs. The house was tired, unloved and not fit for purpose.

 

A single storeys rear extension allowed the space at the rear property to be opened and a social kitchen space was created with a small snug with log burning stove, naturally top lite with large roof lights. 

 

The space also provides the ability to work from home with a bespoke Birch timber lined window seat with integrated dog flap for Caddy the beloved pooch . Birch timber cladding featured heavily in the design to create continuity and warmth.

 

Robust but elegant materials such as Marble worktop and hearth, polished concrete tiles and brick feature wall.  The same brick has been used to  construct the extension.

 

A quaint but social court yard garden space flows directly from the kitchen snug.
