Overview
About the project
Scope
Interior architecture, bathrooms and colour
Materials
Lime plaster, travertine, oiled walnut, wooden blinds
Listed buildings ask for patience. We spent the first six weeks with the conservation office agreeing what could change and what had to stay exactly as it was.
Plaster and stone
Walls were finished in a tinted lime plaster that moves from sand to clay as the light changes. The main bathroom is lined in travertine with a single carved basin set on walnut.
- Lime plaster in three hand-mixed tones
- New bathroom within the original room footprint
- Wooden blinds made to measure for every window
Old and easy
The owners kept their antiques and we built everything else around them.
Client words
It still feels like an old house, just one that works.
