Outrageous Cost of Unbelievable Kitchen Transformation in London Home

- Our client's brief was a complete renovation of this beautiful five-bedroom Victorian property, as well as extending the kitchen-dining room out towards the garden.
The end result is a wonderfully light and airy space for the family to eat and entertain that will last a lifetime.
This transformed living space boasts Crittall Style French doors and windows, a high spec Tom Howley Shaker Style Kitchen and elegant stone worktops that span the vast kitchen island.
The snug was opened up so that it flowed into the kitchen area, creating a better sense of connection when entertaining and for day-to-day living.

Elsewhere in the house, the front reception has been refurbished to form a classic and calming environment to unwind with slim framed mirrors.
Replicating the black profiles of the crystal windows and doors used in the kitchen area, a log burner installed within the existing chimney breast makes this room a cosy retreat during the winter.
Despite successfully delivering our client's vision, this project was not without its difficulties.
The previous owners were clearly on a budget, so many of the original external walls were kept providing structural support for the existing side return extension.
This may have saved cost, but really restricted the spaces and does not achieve the open plan kitchen that our clients wanted.
The previous builders were clearly cutting corners too, as they built over a Thames water drain and did not install adequate foundations under the party wall with the neighbours.
Unfortunately, this cost our clients over £5,000 to rectify, and we lost two weeks during the build program.
Delay and unforeseen costs are common when undertaking home renovations, although many of these pitfalls can be avoided if one is armed with the correct knowledge and an understanding of each step of the Home Improvement journey.

Love the sky lights, you've created something special here 👍🏼👌🏼
Thanks Conor!
I had a mare with my foundations we had to widen and take down courses of bricks 😮💨
This is lovely well done …
Absolutely stunning kitchen, the bench works wonders to allow a high capacity table that doesn't take over the room!
Thanks Sam! Our clients love it and so do we.
Love it 👌 You’ve made the space so much better
Thanks! It was well worth the expense. Dream kitchen!
Looking good!
Thank you!
Very nice! A* renovation!
Cheers Rhys! We're happy for our clients
Looks great! Are you able to share the dimensions of the kitchen/ diner area please?
Thankyou! Yes of course - internally it's 6.5m long by 5m wide.
Hi Ben, What do you call the type of roof windows / sky lights you fitted on the side return please?
Not sure they have a particular name. It is bespoke frameless glazing.
Do you know the name of the company that supplies the frameless glazing panels?
Bespoke Glazing Design. Based in Wandsworth, London
Could you DM the project costs breakdown if possible? interested in doing a very similar one 😇
Hi. The building works for the GF were circa. £100k +VAT. The glazing was circa. £20k. Is that enough information? Can we help with your project at all?
@@AURAArchitecture hi thanks! yes that's quite helpful! don't know if this still is gonna be doable for 2023 due to inflations etc., when was this project built? i'm at pre-purchase stage and really want to know what's possible and rough cost figures before making offers. :)
where did you source the crittal style doors from & how much?
Hi. They were from Bespoke Glazing Design. I'll have to check in with the team on the cost. You like them?
