We began the design of the project by building a wall to square off the diamond-shaped living room. We created a small study in the wedge-shaped space behind the wall, and borrowed redundant corridor space in order to enlarge the kitchen and reconfigure it. We also built a breakfast bar in part of the corridor for causal meals, with a nifty hatch through to the kitchen, framed by cupboards. Together with a proper dining area, which features bench seats and a pendant light that looks like a shelf of candles, it has the distinct feel of a modern café.

We created feature walls as a focal point in every room – hot pink for the girls and grass green for the boys.
