A refurbishment and alterations project to a historic collection of post-industrial buildings. The design had to be thoroughly discussed and agreed with the local conservation officer, as the property is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a World Heritage Site. We undertook an extensive programme of renovations, including the insertion of a two-storey oak framed structure into the roadside building. The original structure was repaired and new internal features inserted, such as the oak screen between the kitchen and dining room, to create a harmony with the new oak elements.
