This grand house in Cumbria used to be a 15 bedroom old peoples home. My client wanted to restore it back to a family residence. As well as designing the kitchen I also converted the previously derelict cellar into this wine cellar. I designed and project managed the the builder to create the alcoves with the local slate used for shelves. I wanted to keep the slightly eerie and dramaEc mood so arranged for the lighEng to wash down the walls and across the floor rather than from just the ceiling.
SomeEmes restrain is required to design appropriately for parEcular types of properEes and parEcular clients taste. This Yorkshire coJage is very sweet and has some very preJy original features. It was very important to add interest but not overpower and retain a tacEle pracEcal but cozy space.
ConsideraEon of proporEon and noEce of ceiling height can be over-‐looked. It is necessary to design 3 dimensionally not just from a floor plan. I try to design in the elevaEon and think about the three dimensions. The ceiling Height on the leN is 2300mm and on the right 2600mm. The canopy on the right although on the wish list for the property on the leN cold be shrunk to fit it was not the correct soluEon. It is important to consider and discuss proporEon.
It can be daunEng someEmes to idesign the space if it is already being used as something else and overcome obstrucEons such as this very deep beam in this garage
Here is the result of the garage conversion. I decided I could almost vanish the beam if it was painted out and used in a way that harmonised with the layout. In other words-‐ it had to respect the symmetry of the layout and so the hanging rack is centralised under it – the clients were unconvinced to begin with but very happy
with the end result
