The reconfiguration and extension of this one bedroom ground floor flat for a young family in Shepherds Bush has transformed their home into a bright and spacious two bedroom flat which gives their young son a bedroom of his own for the first time.
Open-plan family living, dining and kitchen areas have been designed around an internal glazed courtyard; this has not only enabled the creation of the second bedroom, but has brought in an abundance of natural light into the deep plan of the flat.
The design of the internal courtyard follows a diagonal wall to enable a wide view of the garden to be enjoyed, whilst the rear extension incorporates exposed painted timber roof joists, a design feature which increases the sense of height in a flat with traditionally low ceilings.
