The homeowner felt closed-in with a small entry to the kitchen which blocked off all visual and audio connections to the rest of the first floor. The small and unimportant entry to the kitchen created a bottleneck of circulation between rooms. Our goal was to create an open connection between 1st floor rooms, make the kitchen a focal point and improve general circulation. We removed the major wall between the kitchen & dining room to open up the site lines and expose the full extent of the first floor. We created a new cased opening that framed the kitchen and made the rear Palladian style windows a focal point. White cabinetry was used to keep the kitchen bright and a sharp contrast against the wood floors and exposed brick. We painted the exposed wood beams white to highlight the hand-hewn character. The open kitchen has created a social connection throughout the entire first floor. The communal effect brings this family of four closer together for all occasions. The island table has become the hearth where the family begins and ends there day. It's the perfect room for breaking bread in the most casual and communal way.

When they briefed us on the conversion of this five-bedroom, five-bathroom B&B into a midcentury-modern-inspired single-family home, our clients envisioned entertaining spaces immersed in nature and laid out around a bold and beautiful kitchen inspired by Piet Mondrian’s abstract geometric compositions. Stepping up the short flight of stairs leading to the new kitchen/lounge/dining open floor plan unveils dramatic views of the surrounding Cotswold hills and Tewkesbury Abbey. A new kitchen picture window to the front elevation and sets of large windows to the back and side elevations flood the “upside-down” home with constantly changing natural light and capture a treetop outlook in the front and garden views at the rear. In true mid-century modern fashion, the space is enclosed by slatted screens and lightly zoned through the arrangement of furniture and rugs, above which the eye can pass through unhindered. Extensive repairs to the roof structure have also been completed to prevent it from slowly collapsing on the house below.
