This Northampton house was once a multi-dwelling unit, so a half-kitchen remained in this second-floor room. The new homeowner wanted to remove the old kitchen and use the space as her art studio.
After the old kitchen fittings were removed, Jessika erected a wall in its place with a built-in, four-level bookshelf. Now this room is a fully functional studio/office.
