Home Extension, Margate
To create a final floorplan of nearly 2,800 sq ft of living space, incorporating the footprint of a former garage, the Pembertons devised a Siberian larch-clad three-parter for the back of the home. The 25ft x 15ft space, with huge Crittall doors leading on to the lawned garden, has a £70,000 handcrafted kitchen by the Kent company Collins Bespoke, with cabinetry and a walk-in pantry painted in Farrow & Ball’s Off-Black; the island, with hidden storage, provides contrast in dark tangerine Malahide by Edward Bulmer. To one side sits a dining space with a vaulted ceiling and a built-in white tiled table, and on the other is Pemberton’s studio, with dramatic, seemingly gravity-defying corner glazing.
