02 / During construction

Expose, rework, finish.

The early photographs reveal the ceiling structure and new timber partitions. The kitchen installation then shows the interior taking shape, with protective coverings still on the cabinetry and lighting awaiting completion.

The detail becomes the home.

The completed kitchen makes the change visible: protective coverings removed, lighting installed and the room ready for use. The ceiling beams remain a defining feature of the living and bedroom spaces. Thornton Lodge is under offer.
