Architect Helena Rivera wanted to ensure the new kitchen felt like a natural extension of the original house, and so took cues from the existing visual language. The main living space, for example, features large, round Secto pendant lamps crafted from bent birch timber. The circular skylight in the kitchen is offset with narrow timber ceiling battens, echoing the design of these pendants. “I don’t think you immediately notice the connection between shapes and materials but this definitely helps tie in the main space to the new extension,” says Rivera.
