Overview
Ilkley House exemplifies the seamless blend of heritage and modernity through a thoughtful restoration, expansion, and interior transformation of a historic detached residence. Our team worked closely with a proactive homeowner and her talented interior designer to realize a dream living space that celebrates the building’s historic charm while delivering contemporary comfort and style.

Design Approach
Leveraging our extensive experience in heritage renovations, the project focused on opening up enclosed, outdated spaces and improving flow.
Key interventions included:

• Strategic removal of substantial load-bearing partitions to create an expansive open-plan living area

• Careful preservation of original features wherever possible, ensuring authenticity and charm

• Integration of modern elements with respect for the property’s historic character

Interior Detailing & Finishes

• Bespoke handcrafted kitchen serving as a functional and aesthetic centerpiece

• Custom-designed internal doors echoing the timeless appeal of the Crittall style

• New fibrous plaster detailing introduced throughout for refined elegance

• Integrated bedroom and bathroom furnishings for a cohesive, tailored finish

Collaboration
The success of this transformation was underpinned by a close partnership with the client and her interior designer, ensuring every detail aligned with her vision while adhering to heritage guidelines.

Outcome
The result is a stunningly revitalized home that pairs architectural authenticity with modern sophistication, delivering a warm and open environment perfectly suited for contemporary living.
