The owners, a couple with small children, sought to bring openness into the cramped space, and create a bright and functional home for their family. London-based practice Russian For Fish worked intimately with the owners to bring their vision to life, all while adhering to a strict project budget of under $150,000. Throughout the home, the original strip-wood floorboards were preserved and painted a soft, muted gray. The cool tones of the kitchen are punctuated by a bright yellow children's table that sits near the bay window.
