This extension not only enhances the overall living experience but also respects the original architectural character of the property.
Challenges:
Creating an integrated kitchen, dining, and living space extension presents complex spatial and functional challenges. Design must carefully choreograph circulation, zoning, and visual connections while managing acoustic separation and functional adjacencies. Precise spatial planning is required to prevent conflicting activity zones, ensuring cooking areas don't visually or functionally dominate social spaces. Lighting design becomes critical, necessitating layered illumination strategies that support distinct functional areas while maintaining an integrated spatial experience.
