Riverview

Belmont · Kitchen renovation and stair void infill · Completed 2025
The brief

A closed-in kitchen and a wasted stair void, turned into an open living space with a one-of-a-kind timber grain kitchen and a new office above.

The layout was opened up, storage was added where the family actually needed it, and the void above the stairs was framed and infilled to create genuinely useful office space. The whole project was delivered on a tight pre-Christmas programme.
