Room of the Week: A Multitasking Busy Family Life Extension Suit - A proven method to extend a narrow kitchen is to use the back side, but when James Bernard More rooms was asked to turn American cuisine in a cramped terrace south of London in a multifunctional space, he had more ambitious plans. "We wanted to create an enveloping extension to the side and out the back, a link to the back wall, he said. "We created this type of extension in the surrounding streets, but here, the plans were rejected on appeal by the Lambeth Council.

Fortunately, necessity is the mother of invention and in the case of James, creativity, too. He immediately set to work creating alternative models for multitasking room for the young family living here. "I'm trying to make the most of the space allowed us, he said. The solution grew in the back side to create a kitchen and a spacious dining room and extended to the rear by 3m to a living room, with doors to the garden. "I wanted the space to work beautifully for the owners, and also to bring much light to a hub, modern, bright family."
