The Urban Home & Garden
How to bring the outside in & inside out
Urban gardens can be that extra room you are looking for, adding value in more ways than one.
An architect or designer should inspire their clients to make the most of their indoor-outdoor space, however big or small, so that they can relax enjoy space, eat and entertain, inside or out.”
The featured project is a complete house refurbishment and extension for a private developer client in Bayswater, London, W2. The garden was opened up to the open-plan living-kitchen-dining room to the full width of the property with large sliding glass doors and a level threshold. The canopy incorporated in the design leads you gently to the outside room while giving some additional shading to the living area in the warmer months.
The building was carefully designed to ensure that, as well as the curtains, the sliding folding doors can be neatly tucked out of the way and lie flush with the side wall when fully opened. The threshold of the sliding doors is flush with the floor finish and the same floor levels continue throughout, visually merging the two spaces into one, making both inside and outside appear larger. This is accentuated by having the same or a similar surface finish to both living room and garden. In this case a ceramic tile with under-floor heating was used internally, which closely matches the stone in the garden, where you are able to see the depth of the finish.
Tips for discussions with your architect when extending into your garden or remodelling your home.
When using glazed doors which slide back and give a large clear opening at any time of year, consider how they will look when fully or partially open and if you want to include any screening or curtains.
Consider similar materials on both sides of the threshold.
Drainage can detract from your look, so make sure your architect has this feature integrated into the design.
Get your architect to suggest or consider a landscape designer, who will be able to suggest plants that will keep your garden looking good all year round.
Consider the view to your garden at different times of the day and extending its use by incorporating lighting.
Be sure to discuss furniture, fittings, lighting, sound, heating and irrigation, all of which need to be integrated to keep lines clean.
Consider the colour and texture of your garden walls to accentuate architectural planting, maximising the light reflected back into the garden and making it look bigger.

Solid Wooden Flooring or Engineered?
Solid Wooden Flooring or Engineered?
With such an array of wood flooring products on the market in an alarming variety of species, widths, types and finishes, how on earth do you know which one is right for you?
Fashion fads wax and wane with the moon but generally, hardwood floors can all be grouped into two main categories; solid wood floors and engineered wood floors.
Solid hardwood floors are made up of one piece of wood all the way through, from top to bottom regardless of width or length. Solid boards will range in thickness from between 18mm – 22mm and thinner overlays are also available from 10mm – 15mm. Well made Engineered wood floors consist of 3 separate sandwich layers; a real hardwood veneer layer at the top to act as the wear layer, ranging from 3mm to 6mm in depth; then a core layer of Heavea Brasiliensis (other wise known as Rubberwood) and finally a stabilising backing layer of edge glued hardwood. Typically engineered hardwood floors range from 9mm – 22mm in thickness.
So is engineered or solid hardwood flooring best?
The current wood flooring trend is for long, wide planks. Solid hardwood boards that are very wide widths are less stable than narrower boards and in the wrong hands are at higher risk of ‘bowing’ or ‘cupping’ if environmental factors are not exactly right. Any wood, but especially solid hardwood will readily absorb any moisture present in the subfloor or ambient environment causing permanent distortion. That said, correct acclimatisation and installation by a professional is the key to success. Solid hardwood floors tend to be fitted by ‘secret nailing’ on to a plywood laid over the concrete sub floor or nailed directly to batons. A solid hardwood floor will last for generations when cared for properly and can be sanded down and resealed for years to come to revitalise the look of the floor.
Engineered hardwood boards are generally more stable and are perhaps more suited to the climate in the UK and the concrete floor construction of our houses. They can be glued, nailed to a subfloor or floated over a suitable underlay. The better engineered hardwood boards are made up from 100% hardwood, such as theBlueridge engineered White Oak and Black Walnut hardwood flooring range from Blue Evolution. The 100% hardwood manufacturing technique results in a super stable engineered hardwood board since any expansion or contraction takes place in the layers at the same rate; resulting in less stress on the glue layer which in turn reduces the likelihood of ‘bowing’ or ‘cupping’ or ‘delaminating’. A 100% hardwood construction is more sustainable than using plywood or softwood since more of the log is used in the construction of the board, cutting down mill waste.
Some professional installers insist that they can identify whether a floor is solid or engineered hardwoodjust by how it feels and sounds when they walk on it. To most of us though any type of hardwood flooring is not just super hard wearing and structurally robust, it is an investment which will stand the test of time.
In all cases the secret to a beautiful, lasting and problem free hardwood floor is in the correct acclimatisation and fitting. Try to select an installation professional who can point you to plenty of happy customers for references! Visit this link to find out more about hardwood floor installation.
