Project Details

Client Brief

Our clients wanted to remove an internal stud wall between the kitchen and living area to create a brighter, more open-plan family space.

The aim was to improve the flow between rooms, maximise natural light throughout the ground floor, and modernise the overall layout without major structural alterations.
