Fact File

The conversion and renovation of Victorian farm buildings arranged around a courtyard to provide a private residence. Extensive alterations were made to the internal and external walls using salvaged materials in order to preserve the original character. Vaulted ceilings were formed using timber trusses fabricated on-site to the Structural Engineer's design. Purpose made hardwood joinery was specified throughout with arched heads to the windows reflecting the existing design. All elements of the building were designed and constructed to comply with the latest Building Regulations without materially changing the outward appearance. A variety of floor finishes were laid including rustic limestone flags, travertine tumbled marble and oak hardwood planks. The construction period was eight months.
