Historic Residence Renovation

by Appleton Partners LLP – Architects

Shortlisted: Residential Project Value Over £5 Million Award

The International Design & Architecture Awards 2026

Appleton Partners

Appleton Partners LLP – Architects has brought new life to a 1917 historic home through a sensitive yet transformative renovation that seamlessly merges timeless character with modern family living. The project reimagines the residence for a young family of eight, replacing outdated and compartmentalised rooms with bright, open spaces designed to foster connection and comfort.

At the heart of the redesign is a vision to balance preservation and innovation. Appleton Partners LLP – Architects retained the home’s historic charm while opening it up to better suit contemporary lifestyles. By removing old pantries, bathrooms, and smaller rooms, the architects created a fluid layout where light, space, and family interaction take precedence. The kitchen, family room, breakfast area, and pool zone now form the vibrant core of the home, spaces that encourage both everyday living and entertaining.

Key to the success of the project was the introduction of larger openings between traditional rooms, a thoughtful gesture that promotes a sense of openness while maintaining the architectural integrity of the original structure. Expansive new exterior openings connect the home to its lush gardens, allowing sunlight to stream in and nature to become part of the interior experience. This interplay between indoors and outdoors creates a sense of warmth and vitality throughout.

Appleton Partners LLP – Architects also paid careful attention to the home’s decorative finishes, using refined materials and detailing to highlight its public areas. The result is a residence that feels both elegant and inviting, a true fusion of old and new. With this renovation, Appleton Partners LLP – Architects has transformed a historic property into a light-filled, dynamic home perfectly attuned to modern family life while honouring its early 20th-century roots.
