Acerca del libro
This book is about an award winning restoration project we undertook recently for a client. Dating from the eighteenth century, and listed grade II, the aim was to create a ‘cohesive family house with a contemporary interior built entirely to support the idea that historic buildings can play host to modern amenities and furnishings'. An old red brick outbuilding, at one time used as pigsties, has been converted to provide additional bedrooms, a bathroom and a utility room. It has been connected to the main house by a partially-glazed link which continues as a glazed corridor along one elevation. Memorable internal features include a new bespoke staircase in the farmhouse and the use of reflective polished concrete for the floors in the extension. The whole scheme is complemented by thoughtful garden design and sensitive new boundary treatments.
