“A heritage home, with a modern rhythm”

Designed for a young family, the ambition was to preserve the home’s architectural character while creating an interior that felt lighter, calmer and better suited to modern family life. The kitchen and dining room at the rear form the heart of the home. A generous, welcoming space designed for gatherings and everyday family moments. A central courtyard plays a key architectural role, linking this social hub with the reception room at the front through a glazed passage. It brings daylight and natural ventilation deep into the plan while drawing a sense of the outdoors into the interior. Bespoke bi-folding courtyard doors were carefully detailed to reflect the original doors and windows throughout the property. 

Deep timber, expressive veined stone and limewashed surfaces are layered with linen, bouclé, muted olive and aged brass. Calm colours allow the rich materials and carefully selected designer pieces to take focus without overwhelming the rooms. Clean-lined joinery improves storage and everyday functionality, while considered lighting emphasises the original proportions and adds warmth. The result is an airy and inviting family home where quiet luxury, heritage craftsmanship and contemporary living are brought together through a strong connection between its principal spaces.
