A complete transformation of a manor residence inspired by English design heritage. A contemporary interpretation of the classic European manor home.
The ground floor was originally conceived as one expansive open space. To bring warmth and intimacy, a central room crafted entirely from oak was introduced. Creating both a natural partition and a cosy heart within the home.
Forming a subtle architectural gesture that naturally defines the boundary between the living spaces and the kitchen, maintaining openness while introducing a sense of quiet separation
The master suite was relocated to an entirely new wing of the home. A spacious bedroom, elongated walk-in wardrobe, and a serene bathroom overlooking the gardens together create a refined, five-star retreat.
The walk-in closet forms a central artery between the bedroom and bathroom, both highly functional and designed as a curated gallery to showcase a collection of distinctive handbags.
Marble envelops the walls of the main bathroom, creating an atmosphere of refined elegance. At its centre, a smoked-glass shower with softly curved corners introduces a contemporary contrast. A subtle dialogue between modern design and classical sophistication.
Even the children’s rooms and bathroom are crafted to the highest standard, reflecting the same level of detail, material quality, and refinement found throughout the rest of the home.
