Really pairing the brief down to its essence and maybe open plan isn’t always the best plan. Maybe old house plans need rooms again?

Keeping living spaces as small as possible to make quality as high as possible.

A kitchen to live in.

A simple open plan extension but always responding to light and air and warmth.

Rationalising construction but always thinking about living outside.

I love putting the dining table in the kitchen. Not only does it require less space but it reminds me of seeing my great grandmother. Maybe they were on to something in the old days.

Looking out towards the garden, providing places to sit in all weather, these are the kinds of things that keep our houses small and efficient. Whilst always thinking about Sun and light and air.

Exploring different approaches to planning but always trying to do the same things. Manage budget and maximise connection to the outdoors.

Keeping living spaces as small as possible instead of as big as possible.

Catching that morning sunlight in the kitchen isn’t always easy to do.
