The challenge with this project was achieving the desired modern aesthetic, whilst optimising functionality and interconnectedness to the garden and interior living spaces, all of which contrasted the old home.

The completed design solution allowed for a new open plan kitchen, dining and family living area with direct access to the garden and views of the outdoor pool and children’s play areas.
