Marchmont

Ground floor B Listed flat within a tenement, designed by Edward Calvert in 1883. Our brief was to create an additional bedroom and study. To achieve this the layout was significantly altered, by relocating the kitchen and bathroom into the centre of the flat, where the previous internal stores were utilised.

Although the kitchen is located internally, it has connection to the large living room where is it is accessed from. It also borrows light from the main hall as the existing door has been retained but infilled up to worktop level with a bookcase to the hallway. To maximum storage within the property, the kitchen units were designed to be floor to ceiling and within the bathroom hidden storage is located behind the mirrored wall.

The existing outhouse was converted into a study and patio doors were added to allow the rear garden to be used.
