The 7m long custom made tear drop crystal chandelier falls through the staircase spiral so it can be enjoyed on the first and second floor. I worked with a specialist lighting sub contractor to create multiple scenes

At the bottom of the stairs, this runner is met by a a fully fitted landing area. Both complement each other. The runner is a light grey Shetland runner with bold, darker stripes at the sides, which serve as a border. It is finished with Iron stair rods, which are now used for decoration purposes.

This project involved transforming a three-bedroom bungalow into a five-bedroom house. It also involved changing a single garage into a double. The house itself was set in the 1950s and has been brought into the 2010s –the type of challenge we love to embrace. To achieve the ultimate finish for this house without overspending has been tricky, but we have looked at ways to achieve a modern design within a budget. Also, we have given this property a bespoke look and feel. Generally houses are built to achieve a set specification, with typical finishes and designs to suit the majority of users but we have changed things. We have emphasised space in this build which adds a feeling of luxury. We didn’t want to feel enclosed in our house, not in any of the rooms. Sometimes four or five-bedroom houses have a box room but we have avoided this by building large open areas to create a good flow throughout. One of the main elements we have introduced is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor. Another thing we wanted to do is open up the bedroom ceilings to create as much space as possible, which has added a wow factor to the bedrooms. There are also subtle touches throughout the house that mix simplicity with complex design. By simplicity, we mean white architrave skirting all round, clean, beautiful doors, handles and ironmongery, with glass in certain doors to allow light to flow. The kitchen shows people what a luxury kitchen can look and feel like which built for home use and entertaining. 3 of the bedrooms have an ensuite which gives added luxury. One of the bedrooms is downstairs, which will suit those who may struggle with stairs and caters for all guests. One of the bedrooms has a Juliet balcony with a really tall window which floods the room with light. This project shows how you can achieve the wow factor throughout a property by adding certain finishes or opening up ceilings. It is a spectacle without having to go to extraordinary costs. It is a masterpiece and a real example for us to showcase what K Design and Build can do.

Entering the historical home, you are greeted by the winding stairs and hallway, with their traditional design and decoration.

A crisp two-storey bronze-clad addition reconfigures a West London home, expanding the kitchen–dining spaces and strengthening the connection to the landscaped garden through full-width doors and generous glazing. Deep angled reveals in the cladding add depth, shading, and structural expression while respecting the Conservation Area context. Inside, the plan introduces a new utility and cloakroom, plus an upper-level study with a picture window over the garden, complemented by bespoke storage and a refreshed period hallway.

This is an ultra-modern American Black Walnut and Structural Glass Balustrade configuration installed in 3 large houses near Milton Keynes. All the fittings, including the wall handrail end caps, brackets and the glass fixings themselves were supplied and installed in a high grade 304 Stainless Steel.
