Reinstated period architectural features are seen here in the main double height reception space . A large ceiling rose , handpainted cornicing with gold highlights and timber chevron flooring all add rich architectural features to the fabric of the house . The balustrade was custom designed with a hand-wrapped leather handrail . On the upper level towards the back a reclaimed vintage door from India was installed on the ceiling delineating this area from the others whilst adding character and interest to this surface . The layout here achieves a sense of flow and
openness whilst having various areas for coming together with the different seating areas positioned on different levels . A study on a slightly lower level is through the glass partition on the left .
The lower ground floor , which is viewed from the void of the upper ground floor , has a strong sense of flow and spaciousness . The dining area is large to accommodate an extended table and it flows into two seating areas . The fireplace is a brass feature custom designed by Shalini Misra Ltd . The cabinet doors either side have marquetry applied to them championing this dying craft . Sliding doors to the kitchen allow a partition between the two spaces and privacy . A vintage chandelier above the dining table is a nod to vintage craft . The marble flooring is custom-designed by Shalini Misra Ltd .
