Kitchen of the week: Views Sunlit Garden in Bristol - knocking the wall of an attached storage unit turned a dark, narrow kitchen in a clean and bright space with a dining room and garden view. The owners Alex and Jane Larkin Wallenstein wanted a dining room in their Victorian home in Bristol, then architect Federica Vasetti released their pantry wall to free the necessary space. A corner window and access to the south facing garden now fill the rooms combined with plenty of sunshine.

glass backsplash turquoise painted provides the only important color. "It's a small space, so that the main priority was to keep it simple," says Vasetti. Larkin was particularly involved in the choice of finishes - he found the backsplash in a local glazing company and installed himself
