This turn of the century Victorian terraced property in Whitstable will be fully refurbished and extended on the lower ground floor to provide a new family living space. The relationship between the kitchen, dining room and the garden has been carefully considered to create a naturally lit interior space, which opens out onto the newly landscaped garden. The new large expanse of glazed sliding doors will improve the connection between the interior and exterior spaces. This connection is further harnessed through the design of a patio area, creating a continuous sense of space. The proposed stained black Siberian larch timber slats are sized to match the existing Stock brickwork and contrast with the existing building.
