We managed to create extra space in this small town house without needing to extend into the small rear yard. The existing interior; including rickety stairs, windows, roof, walls and floors, were completely removed, leaving only the brick perimeter walls. This allowed us to start again and provide the optimum layout for the house. The interior finish is pared-back but homely. A new floating steel stair, clad in blackened oak connects the floors. Bespoke made joinery provides, discreetly, plenty of storage.
