BRINGING A VICTORIAN HOUSE INTO THE 21ST CENTURY

Open plan living , sound proofing acoustics and working at home space
Edge has recently completed the renovation of an 1840s Victorian private residential property in a Yorkshire market town to include contemporary insertions such as open plan living , sound proofing acoustics and working at home space and technology that bring the property into the 21st century .
Long before the pandemic , our client had been thinking about how technology was transforming work and adopted hybrid working . Now based in a ‘ 15 min city ’, this property provides a family home and a Hub for the client ’ s business .
The house had been subject to numerous alterations over the years , with many of the original features obscured , removed or poorly maintained , but it was clear that a major refurbishment would bring it up to its potential . The vision was to create a light , bright , individual family home while also ensuring that the design reflected and enhanced the qualities of the original architecture .
The original part of the house has spectacular ceiling heights , so the client wanted to ensure that they enjoyed maximum use of them .
