The Mansion House, Durham
TRADITIONAL MEETS MODERN In this exclusive residence, a pivoting entrance door leads to a long hallway, with full height painted panelling throughout. There are mirror finish stainless steel inlays to the panelled pilasters that flank the sliding glass door to the kitchen/living area, which hint to the more contemporary tone that lies beyond. Left: The contemporary ultra wide sliding etched glass door allows a view to the room beyond.
TANGANYIKA MODERN LIVING The kitchen/dining space combines with a modern garden room where Tanganika wooden liners frame the open plan doorway to the dining area. A bar/entertaining area, featuring an ebonised Ash bar top and mirrored knee space, separates the main kitchen from the remaining area. The Tanganyika ceiling feature above the bar area frames the TV.
The view above shows the curved Tanganika cabinetry using pre-dyed Italian veneers, a mirror finished built-in bottle cooler sits behind the bar and a bespoke cocktail sink leads to the continuing Tanganika door linings beyond. The detailed view of the cocktail sink to the right shows the mirror finished stainless steel work surface blending into dedicated drinks, ice and condiment trays.
The Tanganyika ceiling feature with inset lighting above the bar area can be seen framing the Television.
ASYMMETRICAL BALANCE Inside the study/music room, the sliding pocket doors can be seen closed, the doors are trimmed with hide and have bespoke black chrome circular handles. This finish is echoed in the doors to the tall storage area housing our clients mixing decks. The asymmetrical furniture features a contemporary framing made from Italian pre died Birds Eye Maple.
TWO STOREY BOUTIQUE BEDROOM In the Master bedroom suite, the bed frame and side cabinets are made from ebonised Ash with black croc’ skin inlays. The contrasting white painted wardrobe furniture is also trimmed with white croc’ skin and has mirror finish stainless steel details. The bed sits below the intricate ceiling design featuring a lowered raft.
Note the detail of the crocodile skin, black ash and stainless steel of the bedside cabinetry. White crocodile skin and mirror finish stripes make up the wardrobe gable end and flank the low level window seat. Display shelving with grey tinted mirror to the double height wardrobe, with further storage to the window seat with louvered shutters to the window above this is echoed in the en-suite beyond. A freestanding island sits at the foot of the bed, echoing the materials of the bedside cabinetry.
To the underside of the staircase there is a feature wall made up of Ebonised ash and tinted mirrored tiles which runs above the mezzanine and provides display shelving. The feature wall is framed by the Limestone clad staircase with frameless glass handrail leading up to the second bath and dressing room.
