The Arts and Crafts movement was a playful one, giving our team the chance to push boundaries and create a scheme that delights the eye with unexpected contrasts. Building on the solidity of the original architecture, we developed a timeless foundation that allows contemporary, quirky details to shine.
The light-filled living room features bold Art Deco-inspired touches - from curved ebonised doors and a moulded geometric ceiling to the quieter textures of a subdued pewter fire surround. These nuanced additions feel inherently modern while subtly honouring the building’s history.
Our clients love to host, yet required specific, closed-off spaces for work. A key priority was creating a home that could adopt different personalities for different occasions. Large glazed doors span the hallway and living room; they can be thrown open to create an expansive entertaining space that draws the eye to the garden, or closed to form a private retreat.
The darker, contemporary dining room acts as a transition between the traditional panelled areas of the home and the pale, pared-back simplicity of the modern kitchen extension - a seamless blend of heritage and modern liveability.
