PERMITTED DEVELOPMENT APPROVED - ABERDEENSHIRE FAMILY HOME Taking a deep dive into the existing dwelling, the clients lifestyle and understanding of what "home means" to the family, this homes potential was realised together. Rather than feeling stuck with a North facing dining kitchen too small for the growing family, a utility only accessible via the kitchen and the sitting room two doors away, the ground floor living spaces were re-organised to form one large open plan kitchen / dining area oriented West accessed directly from the garden. A new sitting room with feature vaulted ceiling sits adjacent to the dining kitchen with South and West facing daylight, giving a large open plan feel while being able to be separated off for quiet evenings. The utility space is now accessed off the main entrance with direct access to the outside Kitchen garden, and space created for a boot room, large coat storage, veggie washing and a large drying room tucked away but easily accessible.  Crucially, this was all achieved without the need to alter any of the existing internal or external 700mm thick stone walls. www.thedesignbothy.com #architecture #architecturedesign #architecturaldesign #archilovers #homedecorating #homebuilder #homeinteriors #spacedesign #spaceplanning #spacesolutions #autocad #architecturaltechnologist

Every budget has a modular kitchen solution. Many people hesitate when the idea of a modular kitchen comes up, thinking it's only for large spaces or big budgets. But customizing your kitchen to fit your needs means you can enjoy the space you use every day. Why compromise on that joy? You should only be hesitant if the cost doesn’t align with your budget. A kitchen tailored to you can be comfortable and functional without breaking the bank. When your kitchen is designed to fit your needs, it’s not a luxury, but a basic essential. P.S. Do you look forward to entering your kitchen every day, or is it the place you can’t wait to get away from? #modularkitchen #architecture #India

What changes would you like to make to your home? A recent project started with 'My house does not flow ... what can I do?' With a ground floor bathroom facing the garden and a kitchen set in the middle of their house, I could see what they mean. We looked to split the kitchen into a shower/bathroom and utility while reconfiguring the back of their house to allow for an open-plan kitchen diner that leads onto their garden.  Swipe to see 3 of the options presented and let me know in the comments what layout you would choose! #Homeimprovement #homeproject #rearextension #architecture

This is what the kitchens looked like BEFORE the work went underway! This is the main kitchen on the ground floor kitchen in our ‘Move-on’ property. The bottom picture with the lime green wall, is the kitchen in the attic flat. This will look very different after the work is complete, with the vision influenced by sustainability & eco-friendly design principles. This property has been altered to have 2 kitchens because of the way the house was rearranged, but Victorian houses usually have one kitchen on the ground floor. A bit of history: Victorian era kitchens had an inward orientation that centered around a large table as a work surface. The word 'kitchen' has changed its meaning over the years. In the early 1900s, the kitchen was not where the main cooking and washing took place. That was the scullery. Victorian kitchens were where the family lived and relaxed. Cabinetry would not have been fixed to the wall but free standing and able to be moved around. The cabinets would have been for storage of tools and prep items. These were typical features for this era, were kitchens had wood cabinetry, ornate mouldings, and finely detailed carvings. Excited to see what the transformation will look like! #moveonproject #victorianhouse #projectdevelopment #brancheshostel #homelessness #e17 #walthamforest #construction #projectmanagent #renovating #enablingindependance #independentliving #gradualchanges #strippingwalls #builders #makingahome #home #communalliving #sustainability #sustainablehome #economicalhome #ecofriendly #history #charitysector #buildingconstruction #buildingsite #hardhats

Want a kitchen that lasts? ➡️Start by investing in METAL CARCASSES - they’re termite, pest, and damp-free, ensuring long-term durability. ➡️Don’t forget PROPER VENTILATION. Poor airflow leads to moisture buildup and odours, so invest in quality exhaust fans or chimneys. ➡️MOISTURE RESISTANT SHUTTERS with high-quality laminates or PU coatings can further protect your kitchen from dampness and wear over time. For a kitchen that’s not only stylish but also functional and built to last, these are the key investments you should consider! {architecture | modular kitchen | metal carcasses | functional kitchen | kitchen ideas | smart kitchen} #inspacedesignlab #kitchendurable #metalkitchencabinets #termitefree #hygienickitchen #moistureresistant #exhaustchimney #longlastingkitchen #ventilationmatters #kitchenrenovation

One of the most exciting challenges as a landscape architect is creating outdoor spaces that seamlessly blend with a home’s existing architecture. When it comes to features like outdoor kitchens, bars, and dining areas, it’s not just about functionality—it’s about making sure these elements complement the overall design of the home. The right materials, layout, and style can turn an outdoor space into a natural extension of the living area, enhancing both aesthetics and usability. Whether modern or traditional, each element should feel like it truly belongs, adding value and enjoyment to a home.

Renovating spaces like kitchens and bathrooms isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s an opportunity to significantly improve your quality of life. When you remodel these areas, you can create a space that not only reflects your personal style but also enhances both functionality and well-being. By using high-quality materials and smart design, you can achieve a transformation that perfectly balances beauty and practicality. Plus, a fast and efficient renovation process minimizes disruptions, allowing you to quickly enjoy a refreshed and inspiring space. Imagine starting your day in a bright, well-organized bathroom or preparing meals in a sleek, modern kitchen—these small details make daily life more enjoyable and comfortable. #RemodelingBath #RemodelingKitchen #KitchenDesign #BathDesign #Baths #Kitchens #InteriorDesign #houseluxury #Architecture #Countertop #environment

The kitchen is often referred to as the ‘heart of the home’ and acts as a multifunctional space for many households. As the famous architect, Le Corbusier aptly said, “Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light.” Deciding whether the area requires cool or warm lighting is important as the colour tone can completely transform the room. Strategically placed lighting gives the kitchen what it needs the most, for the wide range of functions that kitchens perform that sets the standard for the rest of the home. Whatever the design of the lights, it's important to remember the old saying of ‘less is more’ with decorative lighting. Overdoing it with decorative lighting can make for a gaudy and flashy appearance whereas a minimalist approach can bring an understated refinement to the room.
