Inside Out House
London / United Kingdom / 2009
7
A traditional London family house has been re-furbished in line with a more modern lifestyle. The kitchen (once constrained in a narrow layout) has been united to the dining and the new open plan living areas have been opened to the garden. A foldable glass wall is the only separation between inside and outside. A polished concrete kitchen counter links the indoor with the outdoor. A mobile island can be wheeled around and also configured as a long rectangle or as a square to serve or prepare food but also as a cocktails party base. The same timber floor, made of large boards going from wall to wall, defines a small patio before creating the steps to the garden that are also used as informal seating.
The unused loft has been turned into a luxury bathroom, winner of the Design of the Year 2009.
