Architectural Redesign of a Family Home

Our clients came to us after purchasing a wonderful old Granary, in a picturesque East Yorkshire village. Previously converted to a family home about 40 years ago, it was in need of some serious renovation and bringing up to date, for modern family living. We set about looking at architectural interior design, this was the first stage in reconfiguring the floor plan and making the spaces more suitable for how they wanted to live. We produced a full set of drawings for their builder to work to, which included all new layouts, electrical, plumbing and general arrangement plans, as well as specifications and elevations for each room. We conducted regular site meetings to answer questions from the builder and the client. We designed all of the spaces from the open plan kitchen diner, to the formal lounge, principal bedroom suite and kids bedrooms, each with ensuite. We specified wall colours, floor finishes, window treatments (curtains, roman blinds and sun rollers for the south facing rooms) and lighting. We designed all the bathrooms individually for the person using them, so a double vanity and walk-in shower in the principal ensuite, smaller more compact vanities in interesting colours in the kids bathrooms, both with enclosed showers, and the family bathroom was designed to be a restful space, with roll top bath and neutral colours.
