The client wanted to have a traditional Victorian house, but with modern touches - a home where they could also display their eclectic art collection. We collaborated with Caroline Cobbold on the interior design, reinstating many of the original features, such as the staircase and the wainscotting, and brought the fireplaces back into use. We designed bespoke joinery, matching the period mouldings, to provide adequate storage and allow the rooms to accommodate modern living and alongside these we introduced modern elements such as the glazed dormer with motorised shutters, the automated kitchen and the remotely accessible building control systems. The end result has given great satisfaction to the clients and also to the design and construction team.
