What a transformation at in the South Hams.
You’ll see in the before and after photo here, showing the difference between the room that the clients and KEC took on, and how the room looks now ahead of the beautiful new floor and kitchen going in.
Phase 3 at the Boat House started 3 weeks ago and we’ve achieved our target ahead of the flooring going down next week and a beautiful bespoke joinery kitchen after.
We started with a low flat ceiling, fake beams, poor lighting and a general lack of light in an underwhelming space in the most important area of an amazing property. The low ceiling being due to housing a significant bat 🦇 loft above.
Previously we created a bigger and better bat loft/5* hotel above the adjoining guest bedroom (all through the correct channels) so that the ceiling could be lifted in the open plan kitchen. This was to maximise the most important room/space in the house.
We have now matched the vaulted ceiling in the adjoining dining and living areas, but with extra insulation, and added 2 large Electric Velux roof windows and added a new window as per planning permission on the end wall, that was the original barns barn door.
Now the space is plastered and painted following some significant alterations to the plumbing and drainage and wiring, we’re ready to complete the project.
It was really nice as always to meet up with our very appreciative and lovely clients for this phase of works, they always thank you for going the extra mile (quite literally). It makes it all so worthwhile.
This is the open plan Kitchen project phase and it has some serious Lighting and Ceiling Design, Smart Systems, Stonework and Finer Bespoke Details. These works have required a lot of interaction and design between KEC, the Clients, the Kitchen Supplier and the Interior Designers to make this scheme work for all parties.
A big thanks also to Tony at South Devon AV and Matt & Rich from Complete Electrical Contractors - SW Ltd who are delivering a very complicated and comprehensive bespoke electrical and smart system installation.
We have also really enjoyed working with Lauren Gilberthorpe Interiors (LGI) for these really lovely clients on this beautiful property in the South Hams, it’s been a real pleasure over the last few years.
We can’t wait to show you the finished result.
