Our international clients wanted something that was truly bespoke and reflected their way of living and really did not want their home to look like a stock developer’s home. We stripped off the poor extensions to the original house and then build 2 new wings around the original core while enhancing and remodelling the main house. As this was a thin footprint, our big move was to relocate the stair to a new position away from the entrance hall at the junction where the house changed angles creating a double height space which connects the formal with the informal on the ground floor and a bridge link connecting the master with the rest of the bedrooms. The form of the project includes celebrating the original redbrick house that stands in the center with 2 new contemporary charred black timber extensions to either side.
