The client engaged us to design and manage minor construction and re-decoration work in their new home in Hackney. Main works included layout improvements, installing a beautiful new parquet floor, repairs to the roof and chimney and first fix upgrades throughout. Two bathrooms were fully replaced and reconfigured where necessary.
In the lounge, we retained and repaired original detail (ceiling mouldings and fireplaces), refreshing with a bright colour scheme to enhance the light within the space. The clients were also keen to restore the existing floorboards- by sanding back and applying a new oil finish to make it look brand new. To save on costs, the clients decided to retain the existing functional kitchen. To fit in with the updated contemporary design, we suggested painting the exterior cabinetry in a dark green to offset the original tiles.
“We used beautiful oak herringbone flooring to create a contemporary space that reflects the period property’s original features”
