The ‘Highbury Hill’ project is a full width family room rear extension and remodeling, and the creation of a basement playroom. Our brief was to create a family room at the rear of this large North London house, and to utilise an existing basement by lowering the floor to create headroom. An enlarged kitchen / dining room was created by extending sideways. A long flat glass roof brings daylight into the space. Full width sliding folding doors create a seamless connection with re-landscaped garden. The bespoke kitchen, dining table, and storage wall are all Architect designed From this space at the back of the house there are views, up through the ground floor reception rooms, out to the street, and right through to the front of the basement. The timber floor in the front bay window is replaced with a glass floor, allowing daylight down into the basement playroom below.
