Richmond Renovation: Breathing New Life into a Detached Home
The Model Projects team brought a modern touch to this elegant period property in St Margarets, Richmond, South London. The project centred on transforming the lower ground floor into a bright, open-plan kitchen and dining area designed for contemporary living.
Project Type: Renovation and Extension
Project Profile: A whole house renovation including new modern kitchen in Richmond, West London
Location: Richmond
Build Time: 6 months
A full-width set of sliding doors was installed along the rear elevation, allowing the new interior to flow seamlessly into the garden. Natural light floods the space, enhanced by the reflective quality of the light-coloured poured resin flooring.

Design and Features
The modern kitchen includes striking design features such as rich cabinet colours and a timber slatted feature wall, which creates glimpses into the space as you move down the internal staircase. A soft fabric feature wall and sculptural central light fixture help define the dining area, adding warmth and texture.
While the lower ground floor embraces a contemporary aesthetic, traditional elements elsewhere in the home including original cornicing, skirting boards, and fireplaces have been thoughtfully preserved to maintain the building’s period character.
As the property is located within a conservation area, a homeowner full planning application was required and successfully achieved.
