The Georgian House scheme involved transformation of a grade II listed town house in Clapham old town. Cochrane Design addressed the structural problems of the old house and reincarnated it into a beautiful home. The house was shortlisted under the Residential £1-2.5 million category.
The elegance of the old dwelling comes from the Portland stone stairs, which leads to the white stucco square. The company worked on the frontage of the building and restored it to its former glory. The work was primarily focused on the redevelopment of the lower ground floor, which has far-lax listing restrictions. The level was opened over its full length and new tiled flooring with large pieces of limestone were installed. To demarcate exterior and interior spaces, the company introduced a contemporary glass room, which has a 1.5m wide doors opening.
The renovated kitchen features a black marble with white viens island, and a wall of stainless steal with advanced appliances. The upper levels are accessible through the hallway. The walls have been done up in warm grey colour with lighter aged white ceilings, doors and windows. The colours of the x5 bedrooms are in sync with the universal grey-tone of the house.
One of the rooms have x2 upholstered walls, called the asylum. The head boards in the asylum are tall and reach the height of the ceiling. The same pattern was followed in the main suite. The principal bedrooms were done up in bold colour. The dressing room also has the similar colour scheme and features beveled glass doors, which passes on the light into the black mosaic bathroom. The bathroom features curved mosaic wall and is complete with the Bizzaza Rose surrounding the coriander bath and ornate chandelier.
