For this project, we provided an all-encompassing turnkey service, managing everything from initial design to final staging. Our efforts included significant internal layout modifications, detailed design consultancy, efficient construction management, and meticulous furniture selection. This comprehensive approach ensured a seamless and cohesive transformation of the entire space.
My clients found themselves at a crossroads. With their children off to university, they envisioned a more sociable ground floor that included a downstairs toilet and a dedicated space for drying laundry. The existing layout, however, was far from ideal. A wall separated the kitchen from the rest of the space, creating a disjointed flow and resulting in underutilised areas leading to the lounge. My client’s goal was to open up the space, making it both inviting and functional for family and guests.
We met to discuss their renovation needs and aspirations. We explored various floor plan options. Their enthusiasm for creating a seamless, sociable space was clear, and it guided our decision-making process.
After considering several layouts, we decided to remove the wall between the kitchen and the lounge. This choice was pivotal, as it allowed us to create a more open and airy environment. By eliminating the barrier, the kitchen instantly felt more connected to the rest of the house, fostering a sense of unity and enhancing the overall flow.
In addition to opening up the space, we addressed the need for a downstairs toilet and a utility room. Adding these features not only catered to their new lifestyle but also increased the functionality of the ground floor. The downstairs toilet provided convenience for guests, while the utility room offered a practical solution for laundry and storage needs.
The renovation transformed the ground floor into a sociable and functional hub. The open-plan layout now facilitates easier entertaining, allowing my clients to host guests with greater ease. The kitchen, once isolated, is now a central part of the home, encouraging interaction and making meal preparation a shared experience.
Seeing this project come to life was immensely rewarding. The result not only met but exceeded her expectations, creating a space that beautifully balances social connectivity with practical needs. The success of the renovation lies in its ability to adapt to their evolving lifestyle while enhancing the overall aesthetic and functionality of their home.
This ground floor renovation is a testament to the power of thoughtful design and careful planning. By opening up the space and adding essential features, we created a more inviting and practical environment that aligns perfectly with my client’s needs. The transformation highlights how strategic changes can significantly improve the liveability and enjoyment of a home, making it a true reflection of its inhabitants’ lifestyle and preferences.

“Jo redesigned the entire downstairs of our house. She managed to bring to life what we wanted when we couldn’t see how to do it. She then organised everything, building approval, trades, etc. She has worked closely with us throughout to ensure our home remained our home but is now the best it could be! Any problems encountered she was straight on it, sorting it out. We couldn’t have done it without her. I highly recommend her services.”
