From Cramped to Cathedral: A Mediterranean-Inspired Vision
Anatolia and Frank wanted their gloomy, box-like kitchen to become a luminous family hub inspired by their Moroccan–Italian heritage. Greater Space delivered a soaring gable window and oversized glazing, linked the room to the garden with full-height doors and underfloor heating, and fitted a hidden underfloor extraction duct so sightlines stayed clean. The family lived on site; dust and noise were carefully contained, and the middle lounge and bathroom were reworked as part of the same vision. Their testimonial calls the finished kitchen a “’little cathedral’ of light.”
Innovative Features
- ‘Cathedral’ Design: A soaring gable window and oversized glazing flooded the space with natural light, creating an airy, almost sacred atmosphere.
- Hidden Extraction: A first-of-its-kind underfloor duct system removed the need for overhead extractors, preserving clean sightlines.
- Garden Integration: Full-height doors and underfloor heating blurred indoor-outdoor boundaries, allowing year-round enjoyment of Anatolia’s 42-plant jungle.
- Multi-Functional Zones: A reworked middle lounge became a flexible social area, while a downsized bathroom gained modern elegance with new tiles and layout.

“Greater Space turned our dark kitchen into a ‘little cathedral’ of light! The gable window and floor-to-ceiling glazing mean I need sunglasses indoors. They even mastered an underfloor extraction system we dreamed up—pure magic.”
