This property is a spacious four-bedroom detached house with private gardens in Cookham. The client enlisted the services of Lynda Carroll Architects to carry out a renovation of their house, including a single-storey kitchen diner extension. They requested a ‘contemporary’ extension to include large sliding doors allowing daylight to flood the space and to improve the connection between the ground floor and the garden at the rear.
A simple palette of materials helps to achieve the minimalist look in this project. The island is the focus of day-to-day activity and helps zone this open plan space. The handleless cabinets help to create a sense of minimalism, while a rooflight above bathes the room in natural light.
