Hardwood herringbone flooring and subtle accents of black, blue, and white colour palette draw all parts of the floor plan into dialogue with one another. The kitchen and bathroom spaces are characterised by their simplicity and distinguished by their subtle references to the wider scheme. The joinery and modern insertions were all cut away in instances where the historic fabric could be revealed to strengthen the juxtaposition between old and new, but also to conceal modern services and technology.
It was essential that all interior elements from the brass shelving to the timber wardrobes and handmade rugs were without exception bespoke, crafted under our supervision. For the Studio was responsible not only for securing planning and listed building consent for the refurbishment, but for managing the wider professional team, which included local craftspeople, the heritage consultancy Turley, and construction firm Rixon & Gower.
