Putney House

A dilapidated and part-subsiding, but exemplar Victorian property was stripped down and brought back to life with traditional and modern interventions throughout. The existing outrigger form was retained to the rear, but one wall glazed and a new window seat to the rear, while an infill extension connected the principle ground floor spaces and also helped create room for a ground floor wc, utility, and larder alongside a dining area. The window seat and guttering (along with an internal table and splashback) were clad with aged brass. The front reception room was restored with a raised ceiling, new cornicing and panelling picking up on the original shutter and door details, both of which were fully refurbished. The hallway and stair were retained, but with a modern take on traditional anaglypta wallpaper and Victorian tiling.

Kew House

Woodsford Square was built by Wates Ltd in conjunction with the Ilchester Estate, one of the large London estates which owned property around Holland Park in the late 1960s and early 70s as a high-grade townhouse development surrounding beautiful private landscape gardens.
