Iggi Interior Design

Grade II Listed Family Home by Iggi Interior Design

Iggi Interior Design have been Shortlisted for Regeneration / Restoration Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.

A beautiful historic family home in Hertfordshire was restored and designed in a contemporary style for the client.

The client’s love of colour, texture, art and historic details were the beginnings of the brief for this project. IGGI Interior Design helped to shape this historic home into a modern and contemporary property which retained its history, but reinterpreted the spaces for today.

The house, which is of historic importance, was built by John Watts (c. 1554 – 1616) who was an English merchant, Alderman and shipowner, active in the East India Company and Virginia Company and Lord Mayor of London in 1606. A lot of time was spent on the interior architecture of the building, ensuring it’s integrity. You will notice a few oddities throughout which add so much character to the home. Chandeliers not quite centred in a room – due to the fact that listed beams are under the ceiling above. Fireplaces that aren’t centred due to the historic chimney structures behind the walls.

The finished project is a very comfortable family home where the client can entertain, host guests and share this wonderful space. Their love of colour comes through in each room, true to IGGI’s style which is a monochromatic backdrop delivered through the interior architecture, but layering colour through fabrics and striking modern artwork. From pink sofas to bold sculptures and feature blue walls, the design of this home captures your attention in each room. IGGI Interior Design worked on the interior architecture, together with English Heritage and specialised consultants to initially restore the property.

This property is a seamless transition between old and new. The historic features are very present in the new contemporary design, but they aren’t read by the eye as being out of place, they perfectly enhance the look of the space.
