The living room in this Victorian terrace with floor to ceiling in-built bookshelves.

A complete refurbishment of an elegant Victorian terraced house within a sensitive conservation area. The project included a two storey glass extension and balcony to the rear, a feature glass stair to the new kitchen/dining room and an en-suite dressing and bathroom. The project was constructed over three phases and we worked closely with the client to create their ideal solution.

Bedroom is given warmth and character by exposed brick walls, wood burning stove, and hardwood floors.

The modern Great Room designed by chadbourne + doss architects is a composition of wood and steel. The open shelves separate the stair from the Living space. Photo by Benjamin Benschneider
