We replumbed and brought the kitchen to the front room of the house where the natural light is brighter and utilises the larger connecting room space. The back room became a family chill-out zone and the contemporary kitchen sat well juxtaposed with the beautiful original moulding details and firesurround. We laid porcelain terrazzo tiles throughout the ground floor adding a different tile for the splashback. The worktop is a pitted African Moak Granite. lighting was removed and replaced with contemporary fixtures to suit the contemporary kitchen.
