The brief

A dark galley kitchen opened into one bright family room.

What made it hard

The family stayed in the house, and the wall we removed held up the floor above.

How we built it

  • Temporary kitchen set up on day one
  • Steel beam dropped in through the garden in a morning
  • Dust wall and a daily clean before five
Six weeks, start to finish.

Scope of work

  • Structural opening
  • Cabinetry
  • Stone island
  • Lighting
The owner's words
“We lived in the house the whole time. The dust wall went up on day one and the site was swept every evening before we got home.”
