Eliminating an unused bedroom has increased the open plan space in Mark’s apartment, making way for his amazing new kitchen, with show-stopping sculptural island

Sculptural Form
I’ve lived here for about ten years and just wanted to make the space more usable for me. Eliminating the unused third bedroom increased the living area by about 30% and opened up the hallway into the apartment, making it much brighter. During the renovation, I also took the opportunity to renew bathrooms and heating as well as the kitchen, so it ended up looking like a new build,’ says Mark.

While Mark’s previous kitchen was of good quality, it was lacking an island, which is something Mark was keen to incorporate. ‘The old kitchen was actually lovely but it had units along just one wall and I really wanted an island, which has ended up being the feature item of the entire project.’
