Overview
A young family wanted to transform their home into a functional, light-filled space — an open-plan hub for family life on the ground floor, and a luxurious master bedroom retreat in the loft.
The Design
The ground floor was opened up into a generous kitchen, living and dining space with a pantry, keeping the family connected while cooking and entertaining. In the loft, two side dormers and front and rear gable windows flood the new master bedroom and ensuite with natural light, creating a calm, private sanctuary away from the bustle below.
