THE BRIEF

RYE Design were commissioned to design and deliver the extension of a Victorian townhouse in Fulham for a private client. The property sits within the Sedlescombe Road Conservation Area and required specific attention to the detailing of its extension in order to ensure it respected the existing character of the street. Our brief was to modestly extend the property to accommodate a growing family, creating larger living areas throughout the ground floor. The focus for the client was the creation of a larger kitchen and dining area with rear aspect onto the garden.

THE SCHEME

Working with the local authority we secured a modest rear extension across three storeys creating an enlarged ground floor and kitchen area. We oversaw the design of the interiors for the new kitchen and dining area working closely with the client to accommodate existing pieces of vintage furniture and creating a palette that married them with the new scheme. The design for the kitchen area was inspired by the utility of the shaker design movement and married a traditional colour pallette with simply detailed joinery.
