Turner Architects has recently completed a new addition for a growing family that needed a larger kitchen and wanted a family room that opened up the garden.

Located in Greater London, England, the new addition replaced a large tree that the family once sat under, so the architects created an extension that has been inspired by the feeling of sitting under a tree.

The addition has a wall of wood-framed windows, while the form of the roof allows light to get to the back of the interior.

With a brief from the family to create a space with a series of overlapping functions, the architects have included a kitchen, a dining room, a snug for watching a flickering light (either fire or tv), and a garden room.

Separating the dining room and the snug is the fireplace and TV, which are hidden from view within a cabinet.

Elevated from the dining area and snug is the contemporary kitchen, with minimalist white cabinets that fill the wall, open white shelving, a small island with recipe book storage, and lower wood cabinets.
