The sites are often long and narrow with a shared party wall on one side and an existing house which can be over 100 years old. The main challenge is always how to create modern, flexible, light-filled spaces with limited site access and a tight budget.  Image Courtesy © Tatjana Plitt

We also designed the cabinetry to be customised to the client’s needs so that everything had a place and how each space was to be used was carefully considered. The kitchen and dining areas also completely open up to the backyard, extending the feeling of space to the north.

The steel box around the window provides shelter, shading and privacy to the upstairs windows.
