This Victorian terraced house in South East London is opened up and extended at the ground floor level to maximise space and light as well as to create a seamless relationship between the internal spaces and the garden. The rear extension provides a generous kitchen, dining and social space for a young couple who love to cook and entertain. Full width glazed sliding doors open up onto an external terrace and dining area. A large frameless roof light allows light to flood into the kitchen as well as into the depth of the terrace plan.
