Craftsman style house opens up for better connection and more contemporary living. Removing a wall between the kitchen and dinning room and reconfiguring the stair layout allowed for more usable space and better circulation through the home.

Sitting within a designated AONB, this new Arts and Crafts-influenced residence replaced an ‘end of life’ 1960’s bungalow. Conceived to sit above an extensive private wine cellar, this highly refined house features a dramatic circular sitting room. An internal lift provides access to all floors, from the underground level to the roof-top observation terrace showcasing panoramic views overlooking the Fal Estuary. The bespoke joinery and internal finishes detailed by The Bazeley Partnership included walnut floor-boarding, skirtings, doors and wardrobes. Curved staircases are complemented by glass handrails and the bathrooms are finished with limestone, white marble and mother-of-pearl inlay. The bedrooms were completed with vanity units clad in rustic oak and marble and feature hand-painted murals on Japanese silk wallpaper. Externally, extensive use of traditional stonework, cut granite, Delabole slate, standing seam copper roofs and copper gutters and downpipes combine to create a building that acknowledges the regional context whilst maintaining its own character.

The master bedroom features custom, built in wardrobes with cabinets and drawers in varying sizes. The red oak floor with the mahogany inlay continues in this room. What started as an addition project turned into a full house remodel in this Modern Craftsman home in Narberth, PA.. The addition included the creation of a sitting room, family room, mudroom and third floor. As we moved to the rest of the home, we designed and built a custom staircase to connect the family room to the existing kitchen. We laid red oak flooring with a mahogany inlay throughout house. Another central feature of this is home is all the built-in storage. We used or created every nook for seating and storage throughout the house, as you can see in the family room, dining area, staircase landing, bedroom and bathrooms. Custom wainscoting and trim are everywhere you look, and gives a clean, polished look to this warm house.
