The architects removed the floor of a second rear sitting room and lowered it to the level of the garden, converting it into a new space with a living room, dining area, and kitchen.

Nearby, there are stairs with wood treads that lead to the other areas of the home, like the bedrooms and bathrooms. A wood bookshelf is positioned along the stairs, while a small cut-out has matching wood shelves.
