London-based couple Ben and Jess approached architect Adam Hiles, director of local firm Novak Hiles Architects, for a solution to the dark and inconveniently arranged rooms on the ground floor of the terraced Arts and Crafts home where they live with their daughter and cat, Cosmo.

"The downstairs of the property had an awkward arrangement of small rooms which were functionally compromised and lacked natural light," says the architect. "There was very little space for family dining, and the kitchen was cut off from the rest of the house."
