The Brief

The brief was to extend and completely refurbish a family home — adding a two-storey rear extension to create a larger kitchen-diner and additional bedrooms above, while renovating the existing house throughout.

The Challenge

Working within a tight terrace plot, coordinating the structural extension with a full-house refurbishment, and sequencing the works to keep disruption manageable for the household.

The Approach

Structural works came first, followed by a staged fit-out: extension shell, joinery, new bathrooms, kitchen and interior finish — managed end to end by Arek with trusted trades.

The Details

Bespoke joinery including a fluted oak vanity and built-in shelving with arched detailing, marble and tiled bathrooms, a vaulted bedroom ceiling, and a skylit kitchen-diner.
