Grundy Street is a charming 3-bedroomed terrace house in Heaton Mersey; a residential suburb of Stockport that lies on the north bank of the River Mersey. The clients, a couple with a penchant for cycling, wished to remodel a north-facing annexe - currently a galley kitchen and utility room with a inharmonious mix of original finishes and fixtures - to form the best possible relationship with the movements of the sun as well as the adjacent and neglected rear exterior space.
In response to this feedback, the re-imagining of the space began with the reconfiguration of the existing form, configuration and pattern of the window and door openings. Within, a Ikea Metod kitchen structure faced with painted-ply and oak from Naked Kitchens complements a minimal palette of natural materials - soft grey plaster walls, white veined marble and grey concrete floor - and fixtures from interior brands such as Smeg, Kohler, Poliform and Vibia.
Beyond this, a calming hallway with a wall-mounted bike rack for secure, convenient bike parking leads out to a 6-seater outdoor dining table from Tribu complemented by a freestanding pergola with integrated planters and vines that offer privacy as well as protection from the sun at the hottest times of the day. Adjacent is a gravel pathway - softened with natural elements such as planters, trees, ornamental rocks and pools - leads to a "outdoor room" that can be treated as an additional seating area.
The end result is a new, generous and almost uninterrupted multi-functional interior space with a through-flow from interior to exterior space that is not only easy and seamless; but also fosters a sense of connection with the natural world - plantings, birds, wildlife, the cycle of the seasons and the open skies - and all the psychological, physiological, emotional and spiritual benefits it brings with it.
