This six-storey Georgian house required restoration and revival in way that took account of its vertical, slim but well-proportioned nature. With the notable exception of the staircase, many original features had been lost but the proportion of the spaces within remained inviting. The one advantage of such an erosion of period elements was a free reign in crafting internal spaces within the fabric of the listed house.

An important early decision was to open up the lower ground floor in radical fashion. A warren of small spaces was converted into a spacious, interconnected kitchen and dining area that takes up most of the floor.

The house as whole was striking palette of soothing and glossy whites, with bursts of brighter colour that instil a dynamic character overall. The library/study is designed to have bespoke panelling and joinery in a lacquered pea green finish, offering a pleasing surprise when one steps into the room. Bursts of colour feature elsewhere in the house offering contrasts with the subtle restraint of the circulation spaces throughout.
