This project is a perfect example that alterations to a property don’t need to add square footage but rather need to improve the layout. The property had been extended to the rear in the 1970’s to provide a larger kitchen but the layout wasn’t fully thought through. The reconfiguration built a new small extension to the side of the outrigger and remodelled the wasted lobby area as the kitchen, leaving a large courtyard garden accessed from the new extension. In order to maximise the light into the rooms, the new extension has a glass roof and glass and the kitchen also overlooks the garden making it a much nicer space to use.
