Based in Leytonstone, our Zen Den project adds a modern element to its original Victorian property - creating a relaxing retreat for the homeowners to escape to. This project challenged the concept of a traditional loft extension. The new floor was carefully laid out as a minimalist space with full height glazing so that the rooms are flooded with natural light, among the treetops.

Works from Honed

• Constructed new loft floor clad in black with sections of white render.

• Lowered the ceiling of the rooms below to accommodate the new head height in the loft.

• Built-in LED lighting in wardrobe storage.

• Our joiners built bespoke drawers, bench storage, and the bed in the master bedroom that match the wardrobes.

• The entire staircase over three floors was clad in birch plywood and finished in a natural oil with the bannister finished with the end grain exposed.

• Bespoke double doors to the master bedroom designed to open up to create a corridor to the en-suite clad with natural runner from floor to ceiling.
