Before/After - A Modern Essex Mansion
Comments (6)Love the kitchen. Very modern and original. Challenging the traditional understanding. The living room floor , I think it is Jura Beige tiles fitted, looks stunning. Furniture and general colour choice is spot on. I am actually very critical person but this is something I have to say 'simply beautiful'....See MoreRear elevation - Before & After
Comments (9)Dear Buggypie, thank you for all the kind words :-). Originally the work was planned to take 5 months but once we stripped out we found a few issues with the current foundation and structure, therefore we added a few more weeks to the contract. The property is located in the Hampstead conservation area and planning application was required. Over all, creating a green roof is a straightforward procedure and not costly at all. It lowers the impact on neighbouring properties from above, reduces the surface rainfall run-off, improves sound insulation, reduces heat loss & increases the life of waterproofing membranes lying at the base of the roof. It will also provide an important microclimate for insects & bird life and contributes to the conservation area in general. However, the most important reason we suggested it is so that the client could look at a garden from the master bedroom rather than a black pondy roof. Please see below an image of the view of the green roof: This image shows the green roof from within the master bedroom, it is viewed through a pretty Victorian-period balustrade (we chose the pattern & hand-picked each post to make sure it was the perfect fit):...See MoreTiny bathroom - before/after

Comments (32)@vv0123 thank you! I restored the windows back to how they would have been originally. The original transom (I think it is called) would have been stone but my dad made mine from timber and I painted it. A couple of houses on my street still have the original feature so I was able to make sure mine looked correct. The two windows were then fitted either side. The windows are plastic but I went for the half/half openers, again to make them look more like original sash windows, plus some of the windows are over 6ft high so it makes them easier to open. The windows came from a local window company in Manchester my dad occasionally fits for. Hope that answers all your questions :)...See MoreRuth House
