been carved into the pitch of the roof.
The bathrooms, bedrooms and living
spaces have bespoke built-in joinery,
storage spaces and shelving all of
which have been fully integrated into
the overall concept and design.
Throughout the house, the warmth and
texture of the wood grain used for the
staircase has been emphasized in floor
finishes and worktops elsewhere.
The bespoke timber staircase was
designed in close collaboration with
designer-maker, Fowler & Co.
It was conceived as a single object
stretching between the ground, first
and second floors. The central form
comprises a solid helical balustrade
that ‘hangs’ down the middle of the
void with the stair wrapping around it.
The elegant lacquered balustrade is
capped with a continuous moulded
handrail, hand carved from oak to
match the fluid underside that follows
the curves of the staircase.

It was made in Fowler & Co’s workshop
and then assembled on site, with the
handrail made from pieces of laminated
wood pressed into a curved mould.
