Refurbishment and Restore Issue 13 2018 | Page 68

The Client wanted a Clean Look with the occasional Personal Touch in some rooms, such as the random pattern floor tiles in the kitchen and the small slate cladding in the master bathroom. The natural colour of the oak floor throughout the upper floors added a continuous backdrop of natural warmth, contrasting beautifully with the sleek and bright lacquered surfaces of the full height bespoke joinery items in every room. The introduction of full height sliding glass doors with automated blinds separating the www.markamassociates.com 68 - www.refurbandrestore.co.uk Kitchen from the Reception room and the Master Bedroom from the Master en-suite Shower room. These features contributed to the feel of transparency and to experiencing the full depth of space on two floors, from front to rear of the house; something that the client desired. This transparency was also brought into the entrance hall by way of a large floor-to-ceiling glass pane, set within the wall separating the hallway from the kitchen.
