Refreshing new open plan design


Written by innermedia

We were excited to take on this wonderful new project. Our clients wanted an open plan design, which would give a real feeling of flow into the garden. It was important to them that the build was eco-friendly, with a natural feel, and the choices of materials and design reflected this. (Illustration 2)

The flooring was a beautiful solid maple, which was reclaimed from an old sports hall. We brought in specialists to clean and lay the wood, in a lovely random pattern, retaining all the original court markings as a striking design feature. (detail of illustration 1)

The cabinets are a lovely deep inky indigo. The glossy finish is complemented by a side profile on the tall cabinets (a small indent on the sides to allow them to be opened without a handle) giving a totally smooth sleek look. (illustration 5)

The clients wanted a sleek, modern look for the worktops. Although concrete gave the right ‘feel’ we agreed it was insufficiently eco-friendly, as well as needing a lot of maintenance, and coming in a limited range of thicknesses. Instead, we used a concrete-effect quartz, which has a similar appearance, but is available in a much slimmer size, and is more environmentally friendly.

The island unit features a down-draft extractor – this is hidden away allowing the family to cook sociably at the unit whilst entertaining, without the need for a large cooker hood which would block the view.

The new extension features wide bi-fold doors as well as a side non-opening window, enhancing the flow into the garden and maximising the natural light. Glass bricks and skylights bring in even more light. (illustration 6)

On the flat roof of the extension, we created a lovely grassed wildlife haven, using a specialist bio-diversity grass seed mix designed to encourage butterflies, bees and other wildlife. From the upstairs windows, the roof appears as part of the garden, again enhancing the natural flow between the inside and outside spaces.

The clients said ‘We contracted A&R for an extension build in Enfield. They project managed everything and brought in all trades and the architect, all of whom were professional and easy to work with. As we had some design features outside of the permitted development route, we were pleased that all planning issues were dealt with by A&R and the architect. Good dialogue throughout the build, and always there for a discussion to work through options. To note, what I also appreciated was their consideration of the impact of the work on our neighbours’.

A&R Design has extensive experience in undertaking all types of interior and exterior alterations and decorations, and all the different decisions and processes that this type of project entails. For a free quotation for your project, please call us on 0208 3676599.

  • I cannot begin to tell you what a godsend it is to have found you. Since the very first job you took on in our house, when you brought our kitchen alive again, we knew that we could never match your talents! We had no hesitation in calling you back in. You have always been a source of great advice and inspiration to the point that the entire colour scheme of the house is thanks to you! To be able to leave you with our keys and know that the place is in safe hands is so reassuring and when…

  • As a team Rob and Allison possess a rare combination of ‘practical skills’ and ‘creative vision’, but it is their ‘reliability’ and ‘commitment’ that truly stood out for us. Working with them is genuinely a partnership you can trust.

    by Jeremy Edwards, Kensington, January 2012

  • I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say how pleased we are with the guys on our job.  Our only experience of builders is the ones who did our loft. Already I can see the difference in work ethic and attitude.  I have been working from home a few days this week and have not been disturbed once.  They are a credit to you and themselves. 

    by Simon McCartney March 2017

  • We recently appointed A&R Design to build a single storey extension that would encompass the existing kitchen and dining room and create an additional family area. Their experience was invaluable, from the much-needed practical and design ideas at consultation, through to the administration and delivery of the project. The agreed schedule of works and payment schedule allowed us to organise accordingly, choosing materials and finalising decisions so that slippage was kept to a minimum. Rob and Allison were very approachable and were always on hand to check on progress and discuss some of the finer points of the project. Day-to-day,…

  • A MASSIVE thank you for helping out with our recent programme in Enfield. We really couldn’t have got through that job without you and your team of hard workers. You worked your socks off to do that loft and I know that the family really, really appreciated it. The loft looked amazing and is a real credit to the high standard of work your company carries out. The family are absolutely delighted with their new home. Living in a house that is safe for Eric and a sanctuary for Davina and the girls will dramatically help their lives and the…
