width of the kitchen – a structural necessity but nonetheless a visual division between the kitchen and sitting areas of the new open plan living space.
“It would have been brilliant to have a high open ceiling throughout, but to compensate for the restricted light this created in the kitchen area we introduced a high slit window which brings in light but doesn’t impact on privacy with next door.”

It’s hard to visualise these things – and very easy to get it wrong.”

It’s a win-win solution.”
