' When Lina and my wife bought the property two years ago, the kitchen is very bad in the back, "he said." We were crushed and the old bathroom, then made a full opening -wide wall and extended. "this new space allowed Zakevicius to rethink the rest of the flat, as well, creating two bedrooms and a bathroom in original Victorian part of the property." We moved to the living room to the back to be near the garden, " he said. "We have a good relationship with the outside now and it was very quiet. Living well in the back! "

'We want some lighting a statement on the dining table, "said Zakevicius.' This side of the extension feels like quite a large space, but the table will always be here, so it makes sense to hang the lights on it."
Zakevicius designed wall lamps themselves. "I thought, what if you just stuck two lights on the wall?" He said. 'I asked the electricity to match the socket, then we added lights mirror to give a soft, lightly shaded. "

kitchen open onto a small internal courtyard. "There is a very simple reason for this," said Zakevicius. "If we had the whole house, we will extend the right across, but we just had the ground floor of the property and there are two bedrooms in the original part of the house. the rear window of the bedroom will be blocked if I were not designed on this page.

Zakevicius choose a sliding door, not folding. 'Folding doors look brilliant once they are fully open, but when they are closed, they have many parts, "he said." There will be about six part in the opening of this large, which will carve a view. "
The sliding doors only three parts, with a sliding center piece for access to the park. 'They are fun to use and is open to the park more than enough, "said Zakevicius.' The idea of a seamless transition is still working, and it is less windy than folding doors fully open can."
Zakevicius used a simple, pre-treated roof battens to dress the garden wall. "It's a cost-effective solution," he said.
