At our Islington extension, a stair leading to a terrace above becomes part of the facade. Its concrete structure is left exposed on the inside, showing honesty in materials, and reinforcing the inside-outside connection.
Underneath, the space is occupied by a large kitchen pantry behind oak joinery.

In the evening, the dining room of our Islington extension becomes a warm and inviting space for family time. Being partly sunken, it creates a stronger connection to the garden while allowing for a taller floor-to-ceiling height.

The joinery series continues into the dining area of our ex-council house transformation, where we designed a bespoke table and bench to suit the homeowner’s way of entertaining. We tested different seating layouts and concluded that the dining table legs should be positioned at the ends to allow three people to sit comfortably in a row within the compact space. As a result, we turned this unconventional detail into a feature, working closely with our joiner to resolve the technical constraints in an elegant way.
