Solihull Kitchen
Solihull, West Midlands
A single storey rear extension with novel details add a sharp and contemporary edge to this detached property. The previously separate conservatory, dining, kitchen and utility rooms were amalgamated and moulded to create an openly sociable kitchen/ family/ diner with adjacent study, utility and boot rooms.
Turning a construction constraint on its head, the steelwork used to support the first floor is partially exposed to reveal an impressive bolted connection. This industrial perception is manifested further through Crittall-style internal glazed doors and weathered metal countertops abutting pared back matt grey cabinetry. The heavy industrial feel is complimented through warmer touches such as the timber brunch bar, internal exposed brickwork and a luxury vinyl tile floor finish.
