Photography by Natalie Marotta This special project is an extensive renovation of Better Homes And Gardens’ “The House You Asked For” of 1953. While the California Case Study-inspired architecture was an interesting break from 1950’s boxes, its extensive single-pane glass, internal roof drains, and slab construction were leading to structural deterioration through condensation and leaks, and a massive carbon footprint. The renovation took the form of slight plan adjustments–giving the kitchen more space, combining two entry doors into one entry space, adjusting the bedroom-bathroom area–and reworking the roof. We added a raised portion to carry ducts for conditioning and ventilation, which was also an opportunity to create spatial interest and bring in light from above, and we re-sloped the roof to drain to the perimeter instead of the middle of the house. Carbon-sequestering wood fiberboard insulation was added to the walls, and the windows were replaced with triple-glazed units. With new heat pump heating, cooling, and water heating, the operational carbon footprint was reduced by 93%.

This bespoke classic fitted library in oak was designed for our client’s residence in Guildford, Surrey. The bookcases have been handcrafted in sustainable solid oak and real oak veneer then carefully stained in a custom medium oak shade. This achieves a uniform tone, while maintaining the distinctive character of the woodgrain. A water-based clear satin finish was applied for durability and further enhancement of the oak wood. The perfectly proportioned cabinets with matching wall panelling create a welcoming, comfortable room of timeless quality and the perfect place for reading, studying, and reflection. Bespoke bookshelves and storage The floor-to-ceiling built-in open bookshelves and cabinets were customised to our client’s wishes and include features such as a solid oak cornice and skirting and integrated lighting, cleverly concealed behind the vertical fluted pilasters. The distinctive dark grey green colour in the internal apertures of the open bookshelves is Farrow and Ball’s Card Room Green, a shade much-favoured for study rooms in the Victorian era. Traditional oak panelling Oak panelling and the matching solid oak dado rail were made to measure for this home library and feature the same raised moulding as the cabinet doors. Antique bronze doorknobs with a turned style provide an attractive finishing touch. Being a high-end interior that is classic in style, we cleverly integrated wiring and power points so they don’t detract from the traditional look.
