The brief

Two owners, one working from home full time, wanting the sea in the room rather than glimpsed from a passage.

The hard part

The society has a hard no on touching structural walls, and a lift too small for a three-metre worktop.

What we did about it

  1. Removed the corridor, not the wall

    The passage was a partition, not structure. Taking it out gave the living room the full west elevation without a single society objection.

  2. Worktop in three pieces

    Cut and jointed on site, because the lift is 1.8 metres. The joint sits under the hob, where nobody looks.

  3. Storage behind the bedhead

    Six hundred millimetres of wardrobe recovered from a bedroom that was only ever going to be for sleeping.

A first conversation costs nothing and usually ends with a realistic number. If we are not right for the job we will say so and point you somewhere better.
