Area
Hackney (E8)
Duration
7 weeks

Overview
A cluttered, dated galley stripped back and rebuilt as a calm pale-oak run with concealed appliances, integrated lighting and a clear route to the garden door. Kitchen case study in Hackney (E8), photographed for David Delavega's book Kitchen, Living & Beyond.
Works were sequenced to keep the property secure and weathertight throughout, with a single site manager coordinating every trade from strip-out to final snagging.
