Wandsworth Common House

Green island with brass splashback and glazed oak crockery cupboard in a Wandsworth Common family kitchen

This Design and Build project included a glass kitchen extension at ground floor and a full renovation of the existing property.

The journey began with the homeowners enquiring about a simple kitchen renovation. Once Charles saw the property and its potential, conversations soon turned to discussions around the reconfiguration of the home. Creating a completely new concept for the ground floor, the full house renovation including a glass kitchen extension and loft extension was soon underway.

A newly reconfigured floorplan means that the spacious entrance now leads onto a stunning open plan kitchen and dining area. Featuring a new glass extension at the rear, the bespoke L-shaped kitchen is a true one-off. With a brief to achieve a relaxed but considered feel, the colours and finishes were a significant talking point, and are all mirrored throughout the entire property, creating a continuous style narrative and cohesion between every room.

Standout features include a patinated brass splashback and solid oak integrated cupboards in the island, toned down to a more natural stained finish. A must-have walk-in pantry was also at the top of the homeowner’s list. With three different seating areas on the island, the bay window and the dining table, the homeowners wanted to create an atmosphere that would feel fun and inviting when entertaining – a brilliant family space for everyone to come together in.

From the design plans and bespoke joinery to the manufacturing, construction and installation, and the unique kitchen design, this project is the perfect example of how we at Kitchens by Holloways team’s expertise goes above and beyond the kitchen through to connecting spaces and entire homes, delivering excellence at every step.
