she watches over me

This renovation plays tribute to a family home's heritage, focusing on enhancing the rear. The once-cluttered kitchen is now an open, light-filled space. A courtyard extension, clad in charred timber, complements the updated ground floor, while soft green aluminium windows contrast with the deep black timber, creating garden views that reflect the homeowners' love of nature. Sustainable materials, exposed birch ply joists, and trumpet yellow paint bring vibrancy to the design. Topped with a green roof, the extension harmonizes with the garden. A painting by Adebayo Bolaji called ‘she watches over me’, honoring the homeowner’s grandmother, takes centre stage.
