Located in the vibrant Queen's Park neighbourhood is a thoughtful renovation that breathes new life into a mid-terrace Victorian home.
The project seamlessly blends traditional charm with contemporary design through a carefully planned side and rear extension. At the heart of the renovation lies a stunning herringbone floor, anchoring the space with timeless elegance. Strategically positioned glazed rooflights in the side extension draw natural light deep into the middle reception room, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere.
A masterful timber screen between the entrance hallway serves as a bridge between eras, harmoniously connecting the traditional Victorian details of cornicing, stairs, and entrance tiling with the more contemporary finishes of the middle reception room and side extension. This thoughtful transition celebrates the home's heritage while embracing modern living.
A standout feature is the oriel window at the rear, offering a cosy reading nook that maintains a strong connection to the garden beyond. This clever design element blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces, enhancing the overall sense of openness and tranquillity.
Throughout the renovation, careful attention has been paid to preserving and highlighting original features while introducing fresh, contemporary elements that elevate the home's functionality and aesthetic appeal.
