Design Squared Architects

Based in London, Design Squared Architects designs residential kitchen and dining extensions characterized by flush material alignments, frameless structural glazing, and corner pivot openings that visually dissolve structural thresholds. This portfolio offers a precise reference when detailing frameless ceiling-to-glass junctions, continuous interior-to-exterior masonry planes, and integrated countertop surfaces in light-filled home expansions.

Modern white kitchen and dining area under a large angled glass skylight by Design Squared Architects.

My Site

An interior precedent for daylit kitchen-dining extensions utilizing a full-width angled glass skylight to illuminate rear living spaces.

What we like about this project
