The brief from the client was to create a open plan living area on the ground floor with plenty of crittal glazing for light to shine through . The vibe of the project was to enhance original features and fuse together modern / contemporary with old . The project challenges were the restoration of a beautiful , patterned floor hallway . The client needed fast turnaround times to be able to live in the home . Significant structural intervention of the ground floor was needed to create an open plan living space . The team focused on restoring old features of the project and installing ‘ new ’ in the form of crittal doors . Feature panelling was introduced to the walls .
