RENOVATION
The downtakings stage allowed us to see the realities of the 200 year old building — confirming any assumptions made of the structure, whilst also highlighting aspects which were not anticipated. We demolished the dividing walls erected in the 1980’s and returned the space to it’s original Georgian proportions. in this stage Our role shifted from designer to facilitator; collaborating with the trade teams on site, overseeing the works in line with the drawings and navigating any challenges and adjustments that came up.
(RETROFIT)
When retrofitting, we looked to maintain and empower the breathability of the building by utilising natural materials including clay plaster and clay paint along the external wall. In using robust details at all junctions, as well as including vacuum double glazed sash and case windows, we have been able to improve the liveability and increase the thermal and acoustic performance of the home.
(FABRICATION)
We created fitted and freestanding furniture off-site in a workshop and assembled on site. This included the kitchen and bathroom basin, both of which were finished using tadelakt, a moroccan lime-based plaster, polished to become waterproof.
