Scottish Victorian Townhouse
by Studio LBI

Studio LBI has completed the full redesign and renovation of a large Victorian townhouse, delivering a family home that balances elegance with practicality while restoring a sense of historical character. Commissioned to overhaul a property that had previously lost many of its original features, Studio LBI set out to create interiors that feel refined yet relaxed, described as dressed up but not fussy.

Studio LBI approached the project with a focus on designing every detail, from bespoke joinery and artwork through to a newly crafted staircase. The aim was to reintroduce a design language more sympathetic to the building’s Victorian heritage, while ensuring the house could support the demands of modern family life and entertaining.

Architectural interventions were central to the transformation. Studio LBI reimagined the open plan kitchen and dining space by introducing zoning and a glazed partition, while a coffered ceiling added character to the dining area. A double height void on the lower ground floor was infilled to increase usable space, and a bespoke spiral staircase replaced a modern structure, restoring a sense of cohesion and craftsmanship throughout the home.
