On vous présente enfin notre premier projet terminé réalisé à Aix-en-Provence. L’objectif de cette rénovation était de remettre au goût du jour l’ensemble de la maison sans réaliser de gros travaux. Nous avons donc posé un nouveau parquet ainsi que des grandes dalles de carrelage imitation béton dans la cuisine. Toutes les peintures ont également été refaites, notamment avec ce bleu profond, fil conducteur de la rénovation que l’on retrouve dans le salon, la cuisine ou encore les chambres. Les tons chauds des touches de jaune dans le salon et du parquet amènent une atmosphère de cocon chaleureux qui se prolongent encore une fois dans toute la maison comme dans la salle à manger et la cuisine avec le mobilier en bois. La cuisine se voulait fonctionnelle et esthétique à la fois, nos clients ont donc été charmés par le concept des caissons Ikea couplés au façades Plum. Le résultat : une cuisine conviviale et personnalisée à l’image de nos clients.

Réaménagement complet, dans un volume en enfilade, d'un salon et salle à manger. Mix et association de deux styles en opposition : exotique / ethnique (objets souvenirs rapportés de nombreux voyages) et style contemporain, un nouveau mobilier à l'allure et aux lignes bien plus contemporaine pour une ambiance majoritairement neutre et boisée, mais expressive. Etude de l'agencement global afin d'une part de préserver un confort de circulation, et d'autre part d'alléger visuellement l'espace. Pose d'un poêle à bois central, et intégration à l'espace avec le dessin d'une petite bibliothèque composée de tablettes, ayant pour usage d'acceuillir et mettre en valeur les objets décoratifs. Création d'une verrière entre la cuisine et la salle à manger afin d'ouvrir l'espace et d'apporter de la luminosité ainsi qu'une touche contemporaine. Design de l'espace salle à manger dans un esprit contemporain avec quelques touches de couleur, et placement du mobilier permettant une circulaion fluide. Design du salon avec placement d'un grand canapé confortable, et choix des autres mobiliers en associant matériaux de caractère, mais sans dégager de sensation trop massive. Le mobilier et les luminaires ont été choisis selon les détails de leur dessin pour s'accorder avec la décoration plus exotique.

In Brief Our client has occupied their mid-19th Century farm house in a small attractive village in Staffordshire for many years. As the family has grown and developed, their lifestyles and living patterns have changed. Although the existing property is particularly generous in terms of size and space, the family circumstances had changed, and they needed extra living space to accommodate older members of their family. The layout and shape of the farm house’s living accommodation didn’t provide the functional space for everyday modern family life. Their kitchen is located at the far end of the house, and, in fact it is furthest ground floor room away from the garden. This proves challenging for the family during the warmer, sunnier months when they wish to spend more time eating and drinking outdoors. The only access they have to the garden is from a gate at the rear of the property. The quickest way to get there is through the back door which leads onto their rear driveway. The family virtually need to scale the perimeter of the house to access their garden. The family would also like to comfortably welcome additional older family members to the household. Although their relatives want the security of being within the family hub they also want their own space, privacy and independence from the core of the family. We were appointed by our client to help them create a design solution that responds to the needs of the family, for now, and into the foreseeable future. In Context To the rear of the farmhouse our clients had still retained the red bricked historic bake house and granary barn. The family wanted to maximise the potential of the redundant building by converting it into a separate annex to accommodate their older relatives. They also sought a solution to accessing the back garden from the farmhouse. Our clients enjoy being in the garden and would like to be able to easily spend more time outside. The barn offers an ideal use of vacant space from which to create additional living accommodation that’s on the ground floor, independent, private, and yet it’s easy to access the hub of the family home. Our Approach The client’s home is in a small village in the Staffordshire countryside, within a conservation area. Their attractive mid-19th century red bricked farmhouse occupies a prominent corner position next to the church at the entrance to High Street. Its former farm buildings and yard have been sold for residential conversion and redevelopment but to the rear the farmhouse still retains its historic bake house with granary above. The barn is a two-storey red brick building with a clay tiled roof and the upper floor can still accessed by an external flight of stone steps. Over the years the bake house has only been used by the family for storage and needed some repairs. The barn's style is a great example which reflects the way that former farming activity was carried out back in the mid-19th Century. The new living space within the barn solves three problems in one. The empty barn provides the perfect space for developing extra en-suite, ground floor living accommodation for the family, creating additional flexible space on the first floor of the barn for the family’s hobbies. The conversion provides a to link the main farmhouse with barn, the garden and the drive way. It will also give a new lease of life back to the historic barn preserving and enhancing its originality. Design Approach Every element of the historical barns restoration was given careful consideration, to sensitively retain and restore the original character. The property has some significant features of heritage value all lending to its historical character. For example, to the rear of the barn there is an original beehive oven. Historical Gems A beehive oven is a type of oven that’s been used since the Middle Ages in Europe. It gets its name from its domed shape, which resembles that of an old-fashioned beehive. The oven is an extremely rare example and is a feature that our team and our clients wanted to restore and incorporate into the new design. The conservation officer was in favour of retaining the beehive oven to preserve it for future studies. Our clients also have a well in the front garden of the farmhouse. The old well is located exactly under the spot of the proposed new en-suite WC. We liaised with the conservation officer and they were happy for the well to be covered rather than preserved within the design. We discussed the possibility of making a feature of the well within the barn to our clients and made clear that highlighting the well would be costly in both time and money. The family had a budget and timescale to follow and they decided against incorporating the well within the new design. We ensured that the redundant well was properly assessed, before it could be infilled and capped with a reinforced concrete slab. Another aspect of the barn that we were all keen to preserve were the external granary steps and door. They are part of the building’s significance and character; their loss would weaken the character and heritage of the old granary barn. We ensured that the steps and door should be retained and repaired within the new design. It was imperative for clients and our team to retain the historical features that form the character and history of the building. The external stone steps and granary door complement the original design indicating the buildings former working purpose within the 19th Century farm complex. An experienced structural specialist was appointed to produce a structural report, to ensure all aspects of the building were sound prior to planning. Our team worked closely with the conservation officer to ensure that the project remained sensitive and sympathetic to the locality of the site and the existing buildings. Access Problems Solved Despite being in a Conservation Area, the conservation officer and the planners were happy with a seamless contemporary glazed link from the main farm to the granary barn. The new glazed link, not only brings a significant amount of light into the interior of the farmhouse, but also granary barn, creating an open and fluid area within the home, rather than it just being a corridor. The glazed hallway provides the family with direct access from the main farmhouse to the granary barn, and it opens outdirectly onto their garden space. The link to the barn changes the way that the family currently live for the better, creating flexibility in terms of direct access to the outside space and to the granary barn. Working Together We worked closely with the conservation officer to ensure that our initial design for the planned scheme was befitting of its place in the Conservation Area (and suited to a historic structure). It was our intention to create a modern and refreshing space which complements the original building. A close collaboration between the client, the conservation officer, the planners and our team has enabled us the deliver a design that retains as much of the working aesthetic of the buildings as possible. Local planners were keen to see the building converted to residential use to save it from disrepair, allowing the chance to create a unique home with significant original features, such as the beehive oven, the stone steps and the granary doors. We have sensitively and respectfully designed the barn incorporating new architecture with a sense of the old history from the existing buildings. This allows the current work to be interpreted as an additional thread to the historical context of the buildings, without affecting their character. The former barn has been sympathetically transformed inside and out, corresponding well with the historical significance of the immediate farm site and the local area. We’ve created a new sleek, contemporary glazed link for the family to the outside of their house, whilst developing additional living space that retains the historical core, ethos and detail of the building. In addition, the clients can also now take advantage of the unrivaled views of the church opposite, from the upper floor of the historic barn. Feeling inspired?

Originally, this custom-built wood cabin in Central Saanich was rustic and stark, but with our work, we were able to help transform it into a modern rural retreat. A key change in this home transformation was updating some of the more dated and unwelcoming design elements, including the floors. By removing the original 70's red carpets and strip Oak floors and replacing them with a Wide Plank, Pre-Finished Engineered Oak throughout, we were able to keep that secluded cabin feel all the while adding a modern refresh.
