An elegant reflection of how historic and contemporary spaces can be gracefully united

This project was about respecting what was already special about the house while giving it a new life.

The historic features were retained, restored and enhanced, while the existing contemporary rear extension was reimagined and a new level was carefully tucked into the generous roof space.

Inside, original and contemporary elements come together through a palette that feels both connected to the history of the house and appropriate for today. Historic details have been restored and, where needed, thoughtfully reinterpreted so that the spaces flow naturally from one to another.

The result is a home that feels true to its history while providing the comfort, flexibility and ease of contemporary family living.

“Working with Adam and his creative and talented team was as smooth as it was fun.  

 They were so calm and relaxed with the myriad of decisions required in a renovation.  Every choice made was guided by them but felt like our own and we are truly thrilled with the end result.”

Owners

“Living in such an old house we felt like we are custodians of that history for the next generation.  Adam and his team were so respectful of that history, yet added such innovation to make our time in this wonderful home so easy and enjoyable.”

Owners

“We felt really heard along the way - when we were really enthusiastic about a design feature - say arches or a particular stone - Adam and his team adapted quickly to add more of what we loved.”
