Room by Room

Modern extension

A couple has transformed their 1930s semi into a modern family home. The new kitchen is part of the home's extension, which also includes a great open-plan dining and living area. Glossy white joinery and white walls bounce light around the new space, while timber veneer joinery adds warmth. Concrete flooring anchors the look.
