The project involved the careful reinstatement of missing period features in a distinguished Greek Revival house, alongside essential repairs and the introduction of modern services. The cast iron balustrade of the main staircase was carefully conserved, while panelled doors and cornices were reinstalled where required to maintain the architectural integrity of the interiors.
The works included re-roofing and extensive masonry repairs to secure the building fabric. The finely carved entrance doorway was sensitively conserved, with severely eroded elements fully replaced to preserve its historic character.
New interventions were designed to enhance contemporary living while respecting the house’s classical form. These included the creation of an open-plan kitchen and morning room, as well as the addition of a large glazed garden room featuring timber lining and an encaustic tile floor.
To complement the period detailing, new decorative etched glass panels were designed and incorporated into various doors and windows, adding a bespoke layer of artistry that unites the historic and new elements.
