BURROW WALK

A north-facing 1980s family home opened up, zoned and warmed — cork floors, terrazzo tiles, copper taps and a cat

hatch under the stairs.

SCOPE

Whole-home residential design

APPROACH

Open plan, sustainable materials

This family moved into a house that had been subdivided for someone else’s life. The ground floor felt closed, dark and disconnected — the wrong starting point for two young children and two working adults.

Opening the layout gave the family a home that actually flows: adults can cook and keep an eye on children playing, everyone can be in the same space without being on top of each other and the garden is now part of the house rather than something you have to step out to reach. The north-facing rooms that had always felt dim are now filled with natural light all day.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

"We had a very positive experience with Rachel. She put a lot of thought into analysing the space and presenting a good number of alternative solutions during initial design. She anticipated problems well ahead of time and we avoided alot of common pitfalls we might otherwise have encountered. We would certainly have been lost without her experienced input and advice. She elevated the project to something far beyond what we would have otherwise achieved."
