The owners of this home, Luke and Olwyn, knew it would require a lot of work, with dark spaces, dated details and a floorplan that didn’t work at all for how they wanted to live.explains that the couple first approached her during the summer of 2023.
A key part of the design was reconfiguring the floorplan, to ensure it flowed well and worked for day-to-day living. A hallway was added to create privacy from the front of the house. Olwyn and Luke love cooking, and wanted a space where they could cook while chatting to guests. “Once two separate rooms, we suggested connecting the kitchen and living area, creating an open plan layout,” Emma says. “We proposed and designed the addition of a bespoke slatted, oak room divider which frames the dining area nicely and acts as a subtle separation between the dining area and the living area.
Units in the kitchen were kept to the lower level, with an open shelf above helping it to feel more open.
