1/7 Living room
In period houses with kitchen-diners at the back, the front room can become a bit of an unused zone. Here, it is connected so that sunlight floods through the entire ground floor.

The long lit shelf helps to connect this room with the kitchen, continuing on from the run of units. Little niches have been created throughout the house to display unusual and quirky artwork.
