Designer: Panoramic Properties

Following the completion of another residence for the client, Panoramic Properties Limited were engaged to pull a team together to transform this beautiful Victorian property back to its former glory whilst supplying all the modern luxuries. The property needed a complete overhaul, with the demolishing of poorly built extensions and replacement with a magnificent modern structure that sits in juxtaposition to the original house. The circulation of the property needed to be improved by opening the hub of the house which included the living, snug, study, dining and kitchen area to the rest of the property. By taking each room carefully back to the brickwork, Panoramic Properties were able to consider each period feature and design detail, allowing the property to be completed to the highest standard throughout.

As the property has split levels, its high ceilings in the formal rooms offered the opportunity to restore and add back into the original character of the home. Architectural features were considered through the use of ceiling details, ceiling roses, coving and lighting. Panoramic Properties were commissioned to design and supply bespoke cabinetry & upholstery throughout the build, to give a truly unique look that perfectly fitted to each space. This included TV ottomans, study cabinetry, bar, booth seating, TV cabinetry, wardrobes, beds & headboards

The open plan kitchen boasts a huge island that houses a bespoke seating booth and informal dining area, featuring subzero fridges, a ‘slide and hide’ pantry, a picture window behind the main sink, a preparation sink on the island, two double ovens and vein matched marble effect worktops.

This design works as it optimises grandeur and luxury whilst maintaining a cosy, homely feeling throughout. The property features all the modern amenities and yet retains its Victorian soul and character. This is achieved by protecting and restoring the stunning original features, whilst also introducing the modern aspects that take a hint of inspiration from the Victorian style of the build, to sit in contrast to the original elements. This makes a clear division from the modern to the old and yet they complement each other seamlessly.
