The kitchen dining living room is the key space in the modern home. These three spaces, often separate in older homes (and a surprising amount of new ones) form the contemporary heart of the home. Often, through clever reconfiguration alone, these key spaces can be happily married to create a sociable family home. All of our kitchen dining living rooms are designed to maximise the infiltration of natural daylight and create a seamless transition into the fourth (and often forgotten) space: the garden. When your home is designed to connect with your private outdoor space, the need for extensions often becomes redundant. Your home will feel so much bigger, simply through the removal of walls. Dedicated outdoor living spaces, framed in a simple overhead structure, such as a pergola (as demonstrated above) can provide a sense of intimacy, enclosure and connection at a much lower cost than adding an extension.
