House31
This late-Victorian home has been carefully remodelled to reflect the owners Mediterannean heritage and contemporary lifestyle. Retaining original features—high ceilings, fireplaces, and decorative plasterwork—the design introduces a crisp, white-rendered rear extension with expansive glazing and strong indoor-outdoor flow.
Rather than a typical side-return, the scheme creates a ‘kitchen courtyard’: a green pocket adjacent to the kitchen, framed by a horizontal window and a sliding hob-side opening for alfresco cooking. This biophilic gesture mirrors the rear garden and brings nature into the heart of the home.
The project balances character and clarity, embedding sustainable upgrades while reflecting southern European values of light, openness, and conviviality
