Country House
Suffolk
Completed November 2001

A large Edwardian summer house, a faded time-warp of a past era needed gently nudging into the 21st Century.

Two things were carried out; firstly conversion of the old servants wing, demarcated by the ubiquitous green baize door, was to be modernised to suit a young family’s needs for example introducing new bathrooms using antique sanitary-ware. Secondly all the original public entertaining rooms needed careful re-organisation, furniture, paintings, mirrors & lights were heaved, hauled and re-hung to create a previously lacking cohesion and focus to each of the spaces. Back breaking stuff but a simple & inexpensive way to re-fresh what was feeling tired!
