This project involved the repair and conservation of the listed external fabric alongside a complete internal reconfiguration to support contemporary living and working. The original timber roof structures, which had deteriorated beyond repair, were carefully dismantled and replaced using appropriate materials and detailing to match the character of the existing building.

Internally, the space was redesigned to introduce greater light and openness while preserving the proportions and rhythm of the historic structure. The layout was adapted to accommodate both domestic and workspace functions, with new finishes and services integrated discreetly within the retained envelope.

The result is a thoughtful combination of restoration and renewal, preserving the architectural integrity of the listed building while creating a flexible and modern interior.
