Description
This young family looked at their two story inner city terrace as a long term family home, so the decisions they made we based on quality. The owners liked a materials and products which were low maintenance and which would last a long time, which is a great ethos in this time when things are so fast moving and nothing seems to last long.
Questions and Answers
What were the key challenges?
The original terrace house was in a state of disrepair once we started uncovering the structure we needed to repair much of it.
What was the brief?
The brief concentrated on creating a lovely family kitchen, and a powder room and laundry to the ground floor and also a connection to the rear yard, without a big set of bifold or sliding doors. a more gentle indoor/outdoor connection was requested.
The main brief was to create a house for the long term. A house which would last, thought choice of a simple design aesthetic and materials that would stand the test of time.
