Furniture by Henry Lewis

Signature Carpets has provided luxurious handcrafted and custom designed wool carpets for over 30 years.

Signature’s designers are renowned for their expert use of style and colour. We offer clients any design style from the traditional to the contemporary.

After an initial consultation with the customer and, in many cases with the client’s Interior Designer, Signature’s designers hand paint artwork showing the room to scale and how the carpet will look in its full glory. Once every detail is agreed; a custom made sample is approved for colour and the carpet design is considered perfect, Signature proceeds with manufacture.

Signature’s carpets are made to any size and without any unsightly seams, created to fit any shape, from an awkward alcove to every curve of a sweeping, spiral staircase. Hand made elements of the carpets are made upright on vertical frames by Signature’s talented crafts people. The construction is 100% New Zealand wool custom dyed to the precise shades needed to make the design excel in itself and sit perfectly as a complement to the interior.

Wool has always been a natural first choice for carpets and the outstanding properties of New Zealand wool which is the purest, whitest wool in the world, enables it to be dyed to long-lasting, vibrant hues and clean, fresh pastels. It is soft, strong and durable, with a natural resistance to fire, dirt and crushing, so carpets made from it will be practical, safe and comfortable, with good looks that will last.

The finished Signature product is created in dense velvet pile, sometimes with hand carved sculptured details and loop pile used to introduce variation in texture.

For final peace of mind and to safe guard customers’ investment, Signature is involved from the beginning to end. The highest quality of installation is paramount and is carried out by Signature’s own specialist fitters. Nothing is left to chance.

For more information or to arrange a visit by one of Signature’s designers please call 01422 845075.

Heart of glass...

No home would be complete without windows. But with more architects opting to embrace the structural qualities of glass in their designs, glazing is being placed firmly at the heart of modern home building.

28

LUXURY HOMES & INTERIORS

FEATURE | Heart of glass

S

Occupying a remote coastal site overlooking Cardigan Bay, Cefn Castell makes use of structural glazing to bring the outside in.

Structural frameless balustrading provides the property with seamless views. The spectacular threebedroom cliff-side home featured in Channel 4’s Grand designs and could be named as Wales’ Best Built home. Wind and airtightness were very important as the property was very exposed.

o what is structural glazing? In short it’s where glass becomes an intrinsic part of the structure, where its load-bearing capabilities are as, if not more, important than its’ aesthetic appeal.

Kristian Hansen, of structural glazing specialists Clear Living, said: “Structural glazing allows us to do fantastic things with glass.

“In traditional glazing it is the frame which provides the strength, be it oak, timber or aluminium.

“But by utilising the structural qualities of the glass as a load-bearing medium, we can do away with frames and edges and create these aesthetically amazing living spaces of seamless glass which connect directly with the building, becoming an intrinsic part of the design.

“The only place there may be a frame is around the edges, but the trick is to incorporate that into the building design so it’s buried within the structure.”

Structural glazing generally uses an annealed soda-lime glass, which has a slight green/blue tint due to the presence of iron in the mix. The iron content can be removed to make the glass ultra-clear.

LUXURY HOMES & INTERIORS

29

The glass is toughened by reheating it and laminated for extra safety and security, while special coatings help to eliminate solar gain.

During installation the glass is bonded to a frame using structural grade silicon, which has the capacity to secure huge weight loads while keeping the same waterproofing and movement qualities as normal silicon.

In terms of thermal qualities, the µ values of structural panels are superior to traditional framing systems.

Such is the popularity of structural glazing that almost all of the properties in the running for the 2015 RIBA House of the Year featured it in some way.

Kristian’s firm Clear Living, based in Wincham, Cheshire, were brought in by architects to provide bespoke frameless glass frontage and minimal windows for two properties on the RIBA long-list, one in Formby, Liverpool, and another in Criccieth, Gwynedd.

Kristian said: “For the property in Formby we were asked to provide minimal sliding doors which we managed using our Sky-Frame system. This gives a frameless appearance, with only 20mm sightline between the glass panels.

Structural glazing on the front elevation gave a smooth flush appearance.

“The property in Gwynedd was incredibly exposed, so wind and airtightness were very important. Structural glazing was used extensively to provide large 3000mm x 3000mm fixed panels. Minimal sliding doors were used with our Sky-Frame system. Structural frameless glass balustrading provided seamless views from the first floor bedroom towards the Irish sea.”

One of the great appeals of structural glazing is that it gives the feeling of bringing the outdoors inside, and creating a connection which hasn’t been possible until now.

FEATURE | Heart of glass

“ One of the great appeals of structural glazing is that it gives the feeling of bringing the outdoors inside, and creating a connection which hasn’t been possible until now” That’s why it’s typically used at the rear of a property, where people put their kitchen, dining and living spaces - areas where the views out are the best and the whole experience of connecting the inside with the outside becomes more meaningful.

Kristian adds: “It’s a feeling people tried to emulate with bi-fold doors. They look good when they are open but we have to remember we live in the UK. “It makes more sense to design a building which works for 365 days of the year rather than one which is great for the seven days you can actually have your bi-folds open.

“Structural glazing is useful for front elevations if someone wants to create a feature entrance, a statement hallway or something like a double-storey atrium at the front of the house.”

So you’ve decided that it’s for you. What next?

Kristian advises: “It’s not something selfbuilders should begin to think about tackling themselves.

“It needs to be designed into the building before it even comes out of the ground. We work to tolerances of 2mm while a whole project might work to a tolerance of 10mm so it’s very important to make sure a specialist is brought in early on in the design process.

“You have to understand glass. You need to know where it can be strong and where it can’t take too much of a load.

FEATURE | Heart of glass

“You also have to build in contingencies for glass failure. Working with an expert they will design in residual strength so the building stays intact while any repair is carried out.

“It’s very difficult to retro-fit or integrate into a project which has already started. 99.9% of the projects we work on are new-builds, re-builds or extensions.”

And the cost for all of this? Typically structural glazing will cost around 25% more than a highend framed solution. But as with everything, this will vary depending on the size and the exact details of the structure.

Our new trend for Spring 2016 is called ‘Back to the Core’ and is focused on immersion and self-reflection. We want you to slow down, be mindful and pursue a new balance; we look for silence in our homes and search for a simplistic yet sophisticated mood and a look that will feel relaxing and warm.

Nature creates a calm yet strong foundation with pure and honest materials, soft shapes and colours. Shapes are curvy and round for a more feminine, sensuous and soft feeling that embraces us with a little bit of harmony.

Organically shaped vases are given a contemporary update with cold pastel colours and skin like textures. The combination of materials like wood & concrete are meant to be combined. You can create a sense of calm and softness with delicate neutrals like chalk white, pale green and stone blue.

The living collection is in line with the trend, the combination of rounded shapes and honest materials like marble and wood give a perfect balance. A cushion trend for us is soft colours and beautiful patterns which are key for this collection. Only the colours can decide which way to create a personal look.

Both our stores offer a FREE Interior Design Service to book an appointment contact your local store and we look forward to helping you create your perfect home.

Efficient and dynamic:

the Porsche Cayenne A sharper design, boosted efficiency and extensive set of standard features: Those are the key characteristics of the Porsche Cayenne. As a sports car among sport utility vehicles (SUVs), besides offering five seats and extensive high-end features, it primarily offers a lot of room for a lot of driving fun. With high performance and typical Porsche design DNA. At first glance, the latest Cayenne can be clearly made out as a Porsche by its bi-xenon headlights, which are standard in the base and S models, with “hovering” four-point LED daytime running lights that are typical of Porsche. The high performance standard of the top model, the Cayenne Turbo, is emphasised by standard LED headlights with the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).

In the interior, designers devoted much of their effort to the driver’s space – the driver now gets a multifunction sport steering wheel with shift paddles as standard; its look and functions are based on the steering wheel of the 918 Spyder. They also made the rear seating system even more comfortable, and seat ventilation can now be ordered as an option for the rear seats.

In its latest version, Porsche designers have given the Cayenne an even sharper design with precise lines and purposefully placed light refracting edges. Entirely new are the design of the front body, the front wings and the bonnet. Also new are the airblades: These air fins on the right and left of the vehicle’s front end efficiently guide cooling air to the intercoolers and also make a strong visual statement.

Power and torque have been boosted while improving fuel economy, enabled by numerous individual modifications to the entire drivetrain: for Porsche these are not incompatible or contradictory goals. For instance, the latest Cayenne models consume significantly less fuel, because of a coasting function, the further advanced “auto stop-start function plus” and optimised thermal management. Active cooling air flaps are now being used for the first time in the Cayenne models. They are located behind the middle air inlet and are controlled by engine management. They are opened or closed according to the specific driving situation and cooling needs; this way they adjust the air volume that is available for cooling.

When they are closed they improve aerodynamics, which reduces air drag and thereby improves fuel economy.

The rear section of the Cayenne has also been thoroughly updated: the layout of the rear lights creates a threedimensional effect; the brake lights – like the LED daytime running lights in front – are designed in four elements.

The licence plate recess, boot handle and lights are now integrated more elegantly into the boot lid. Designers also re-designed the car’s horizontal lines, giving the vehicle an even fuller stance on the road. The newly designed exhaust tailpipes are now integrated in the lower rear section. An automatically activating boot lid is a standard feature.

Miinus officially launched in the UK Four Seasons Interiors of Leeds, hosted a launch event on February 11th to celebrate their becoming the first UK retailer of the pioneering eco range of kitchens, the Puustelli Miinus. Attendees at the event included the Miinus project Manager, Tony Lonnqvist and Puustelli CEO Jussi Aine.

Established in 1920, Puustelli, are the largest kitchen manufacturer in Finland and the Miinus range is the result of a â‚Ź1.5 million investment to identify the most ecological components for use in the manufacture of kitchens. The range employs the use of a groundbreaking bio-composite frame structure that arrives with a 30 year guarantee. Other benefits include almost halving the carbon footprint of conventional kitchens in a cabinet range that sets new standards for the kitchen sector.

Four Seasons owner and Design Director, Ian Sandford and his design and installation team are confident that the Miinus range will meet a growing consumer demand for earth friendly products and are delighted to add Miinus to their existing offerings.

The First UK Retailer of New Eco Kitchen Range Announced Long established Leeds retailer, Four Seasons Interiors, will be the first kitchen showroom in the UK to offer Puustelli’s range of Eco Kitchens, the Miinus Range.

58

LUXURY HOMES & INTERIORS

The showroom will be offering the range to clients from January 2016 and owner and Design Director, Ian Sandford stated, “We’re delighted and proud to be the first nUK retailer of a groundbreaking kitchen range especially at a time when consumers are so conscious of the environment when making buying decisions”, he continued, “I’ve long held the belief that Retailers have a responsibility to meet the eco demand and by offering the Miinus range, this will allow us to realise that ambition with a kitchen range that ticks all the Eco boxes”.

The Puustelli Miinus range is the result of a €1.5 million investment R&D programme to develop a material to replace the standard Melamine Faced Particle Boards that make up the majority of kitchen cabinets. The complete range, from carcasses to doors, has been developed entirely on ecological grounds and utilises a biocomposite carcass frame that results in almost halving the Carbon footprint of existing kitchen cabinetry.

Puustelli’s Miinus project manager, Tony Lonnqvist, who will oversee the development of a network of Miinus kitchen retailers in the UK and Ireland, stated “Puustelli are the largest and longest established kitchen brand in Finland and our goal is to build upon the success of Scandinavian design in the UK and Ireland with a network of reputable retailers offering our Miinus kitchen range to service and satisfy a growing market of responsible buyers seeking quality Eco products”.

Puustelli’s Miiinus Kitchen Range will fall in the mid range price sector and they expect to grow the network of Miinus retailers to six showrooms in 2016.

Kitchen Consultant and Miinus’s point of contact here in the UK, Tim Foley, said, “After 30 years as an installer and contractor, I never thought I’d witness a much needed evolution of kitchen cabinetry. It was through my earlier conversation with the scientist, Professor Juhani Salovaari, who worked with Puustelli to develop the Miinus range, that my enthusiasm was born.

I am thrilled to now be driving it’s introduction into the UK and Irish market some 4 years later”.

CEO of Puustelli, Jussi Aine, commented “I’m delighted to welcome Four Seasons Interiors, Ian and his Design and Installation Team, to the Miinus family of retailers. Ian’s excellent reputation as a quality kitchen retailer, his vast knowledge and experience in kitchen design and his passion for improving the environment is a perfect fit for our pioneering range”.

The launch of the Miinus range in the UK comes at a time when market research carried out for Mintel’s Consumer Trends 2015 publication, discovered that “76% of UK adults pay attention to the ethical and green credentials of products, including manufacturing and distribution processes, as well as the reputation of companies or brands”.

Her close knit, multi award winning team has a passion for creative design with professional service and offers a wealth of experience in kitchen ergonomics and design.

CASE STUDY Diane Berry Kitchens are well known across our county but they’re particularly well respected in the suburb of Bradshaw, outside Bolton.

When residents Rachel and Tom Morris visited their neighbour’s home and saw their striking, contemporary kitchen by Diane they were instantly impressed and keen to introduce the same quality into their own home.

The couple had bought a plot of land in Bradshaw and transformed a former cow shed into a stunning family home. They were very much involved in each step of the 18 month renovation, especially since Tom’s background is in the building trade. The couple’s two young sons were equally excited about the developments and looking forward to finally moving in to their rural home. They consulted architects on the layout and flow, coveting open-plan, family living. Fortunately they sought Diane’s design expertise just at the right time. Diane was able to re work some of the original plans, making the most of the generous space the couple’s home afforded them.

Tom and Rachel were so thankful for Diane’s input, not just for their kitchen but in fact for much of the downstairs layout. ‘Diane is so talented and has such a good eye’ Rachel explained. The couple are delighted that their home works as well as it does for busy, family life.

The home provided a real blank canvas for Diane and her talented team; they were on hand to help with the bigger decisions as well as the finer detail too. Rachel admits Diane thought of new ideas not just for the kitchen but for detail such as suggesting where windows could go in order to make the most of their home’s location and countryside views. The social space works brilliantly for the family and not forgetting their four legged friend Lottie; everyone is together. Rachel sums up their feelings on their finished kitchen ‘Diane is amazing!’

ENHANCING THE END OF AN ERA…!

Bespoke Cars prolonging the life of the iconic Land Rover Defender.

It’s now no real secret that the iconic and hugely loved shape of the original Land Rover is to take its final bow out of production in March 2016. So, for over 68 years this rugged vehicle has nestled its way into our hearts at a truly global level. From the humble hill farmer to the Royal family, from the Camel Trophy to the theatre of battle, the Land Rover, in its more or less original form has proven itself countless times and won its place in the annals of history – There is no other word than “iconic”, for Maurice Wilke’s design.

Incoming and ever more stringent emissions law, coupled with the relatively high cost of manufacture spell the end of volume production, so potentially, it is genuinely sad to be faced with saying farewell to such an old and trusted friend.

Just as well then, we have companies like Bespoke Cars of Harrogate….For several years now this business has been working wonders with the original version of the Defender shape, enhancing the standard vehicle by adding some extra comfort, mechanical modifications, and 96

LUXURY HOMES & INTERIORS

cosmetic individuality.

Bespoke cars have always remained faithful to the original car, and its famously rugged and enduring utilitarian nature – but the clever bit is what more Bespoke can do ! They make them go a bit better, stop a bit better and critically, be a little more usable and comfortable for the everyday.

Their sales manager comments:-“Bespoke’s work compliments an already great functional vehicle. By taking some of the edges off, we wrap our Defenders up into a smart, comfortable and individualised package……with any number of improvements ! In this respect the best just got better !”

In today’s ultra-competitive world of car mass production, the Defender is undoubtedly a bit of a black sheep…but dearly loved by so many the world over. Bespoke seemingly will take you as far as you need to go. They offer improvements across the piece – interiors making use of “Bentley” style diamond stitched leather upholstery, suede headliners and even

www.bespokecars.co.uk

their latest panoramic roof. The “Business like” exteriors are not just cosmetic either, their quartz light conversion give amazing night road vision – a new experience for anyone familiar with the Defenders of old ! And finally the mechanical improvements can take you all the way to a power upgrade giving 50% more power from the standard power plant.

Bespoke really do enjoy a complimentary relationship with the iconic Defender.

They’ll supply a new cars to the customer’s specification on a prescriptive and as the name suggests “Bespoke” basis, whilst they are still available, but also have a buying department constantly sourcing suitable pre-owned donor cars ripe for conversion. Perhaps the biggest part of the business though, and not entirely surprisingly, is enhancing customers own already existing vehicles. Why ? It’s an amazing fact that as proportion of the total number cars made, no other vehicle has a higher proportion still on the road (or in the field !)

So fortunately, demand for Bespoke’s individual expertise is showing no signs of abating, they will be working their magic on this iconic car for many years to come, but if you wanted a new one….better get your skates on……Tick tock !

Brereton Hall...

Having the rare distinction of a Grade I listing, Brereton Hall is a dramatic country residence standing in grounds of about 113 acres. In recent years, the hall has been refurbished by the current owners with well presented interiors now enhancing the wonderful architecture of this historic house.

I

t is believed that Brereton Hall is one of the first Elizabethan brick mansions to be built in Cheshire. It is understood that the building was originally built in the shape of an ‘E’ although the centre ‘bar’ was removed in later times and replaced by a vast conservatory built around 1829.

The architectural historian, Nikolaus Pevsner simply states “the front is not easily forgotten”.

This majestic western front greets visitors and is dominated by the magnificent octagonal twin towers which flank the splendid front entrance approached via a flight of wide stone steps.

Originally the two towers would have been higher and crowned by ogee cupolas but now they are completed by battlement walls and connected by a fascinating bridge which offers a wonderful vantage point for views over the grounds.

FEATURE | Brereton Hall

The Legend of the Muzzled Bear There are many legends and traditions attached to the Brereton family and the hall, perhaps the most fascinating of which is the story of how the muzzled bear became part of their Coat of Arms. Sir William Brereton, having been interrupted by his valet at dinner, pursued him upstairs and in his ungovernable rage murdered him. Sir William, in fear and consternation of his horrible act, went to London to plead for the pardon of the King. The King refused but offered him a chance to obtain a pardon. He would allow Sir William three days in which to invent a muzzle with which to muzzle a bear and if it proved affective, his life would be spared. If not, the bear would provide his punishment! For three days Sir William was shut in the tower at the end of which he was brought before the bear who was let loose. The prisoner flung his newly invented muzzle over its head and escaped unharmed.

From that time, the muzzled bear became the emblem of the Breretons and today it is depicted in various places around the house.

The main entrance to Brereton Hall is heralded by a splendid staircase hall having a flagstone floor and beautiful ceiling mouldings with an intricate rose framed within a star shaped delicately moulded freize. Either side of the grand stairway symmetrical steps lead down to the cellars.

The panelled sitting room has a fine cast iron fireplace with marble surround and carved panels above depicting the Brereton bear. The walls are believed to be oak panelled but carefully painted to cleverly simulate walnut.

Upstairs the long central landing opens out beyond the extent of the reception hall below to provide generous open areas flanking the principal staircase. To the south is the charming minstrels gallery where a freize depicts many Coats of Arms reputedly of Estates within riding distance of Brereton.

FEATURE | Brereton Hall

The principal bedroom lies on the southwest corner of the hall with two wide bay windows providing lovely views of the grounds. There is a fine carved stone fireplace featuring the Brereton bear and the room has a capacious ensuite bathroom with shower.

There are five further bedrooms with a variety of architectural features and five additional bath/shower rooms at this level. It is believed that one of the smaller bedrooms was indeed Lord Brereton’s favourite and retains its panelled walls and a fine fireplace with a mantelpiece incorporating the Brereton Coat of Arms with a seven fold shield recording ancient alliances of the Breretons with Edgerton and Belward, Corbet and Orreby. A more spectacular fireplace lies in the small dressing room off this bedroom and it is believed that this was installed in 1633 to celebrate the marriage of Lord Brereton..

Brereton Hall is approached from the private road through tall, ornate, wrought iron electric gates. A tarmacadam driveway sweeps up towards the house flanked on one side by traditional iron railings with pasture beyond and on the other side by banks of rhododendrons and numerous mature trees with the church grounds beyond. The trees and shrubbery obscure the house which comes into view as one approaches the front with the awe inspiring facade and central towers standing majestically above the drive. Areas of lawn and beds of lavender lead up to the front elevation and the impressive stone steps to the front door are flanked by raised flower beds.
