With this project Studio DC completely transformed an existing shabby 1 bedroom flat by swapping the location of the kitchen and the bedroom, moving this to the quieter rear of the flat, and removing a central partition wall to create a large open plan living / kitchen / dining space with a unique ‘loft’ like feel to the front.

The clients didn’t want the kitchen area to feel too intrusive in the living space so we treated the kitchen itself like a piece of built in furniture arranged along one wall of the main space. Meticulous detailing, and a simple palette of materials such as dark hardwood floors, white painted surfaces and kitchen units, and a large dark glass splash back lends the space a fresh clean look, and allows the kitchen to recede into the background when not in use.

Again, this scheme is a very good example of how Studio de Carteret can apply creative thinking, their rigorous attention to detail and extensive experience of construction to help you to achieve striking, high quality accommodation on a relatively modest budget.
