An old colonial feel was the design           inspiration behind the work on this Victorian villa. As part of a comprehensive renovation in 1997, we designed a Verandah for this 1898 Victorian Villa to replace it's dilapidated conservatory. The Verandah with a sweeping roof complimented the lush architectural planting in the garden whilst providing outdoor space for dining and relaxing, sheltered from the sun and rain. In 2003 we designed a single and two storey extension to the north side of the house. This addition created a large garden room, pantry, utility and cloakroom on the ground floor. On the first floor a luxurious ensuite bathroom and dressing room were formed. Whilst the house is not listed, we gave the detailing of this historic home as much attention as if it were. As a result the work was designed to blend seamlessly with the original house and  incorporated, imperial brickwork, salvaged clay tiles, stone flooring and bespoke joinery.
