Category:: Residential/; Renovations and Extensions

To be done full justice this 19th century villa with a fascinating past needed high levels of both rigour and exuberance. Period details have been preserved and enhanced with the use of splendid English wallpapers and custom designed carpet inspired by willow pattern china. A judicious combination of patterned textiles have added further zing, while large scale French antiques and chandeliers ensure a pervading sense of opulence. A newly constructed 'Palm House' in what was the rear courtyard of the dwelling incorporates the original service wing and features custom made tiles which adorn a full height chimney brest. Close attention to detail has resulted in a truly extraordinary interior.
