A two-level flat in Highgate was refurbished around a new kitchen. The work ran from strip-out through to decoration, restoring the original timber floors rather than replacing them.

What mattered on this project

- Kitchen as the focus. Moving or replacing a kitchen means coordinating plumbing, electrics, extraction and joinery, so they were planned together before strip-out.
