Keen to restore an Art Deco-era house to its former glory, our clients were also wishing for a fully accessible family home to enjoy. We knew we could achieve both these aspirations through planning and design cleverness.

We re-evaluated the character and appearance of the house to establish how best to undo the unsympathetic alterations, to refurbish and restore its original features and make sure additions complemented the Art Deco design style. The high-level design is unified to create a modern family home that appears deliberate and finalised to stand proud within the Conservation Area.
