The contemporary design updates and modernises the property while respecting the original character and design intent of the Grade II listed building. The restrained design focuses on space and light while a series of sensitive insertions combine with a carefully selected material palette to create distinct new spaces alongside the original features of the property. Careful attention was paid to the distances and junctions between the historic and contemporary layers to ensure old and new quietly co-exist and complement each other both visually and programmatically. This is achieved through the design’s use of minimal interventions in the form of freestanding joinery, panelling, and sliding and folding planes.
