BRINGING A VICTORIAN HOUSE INTO THE 21ST CENTURY Open plan living, sound proofing acoustics and working at home space Edge has recently completed the renovation of an 1840s Victorian private residential property in a Yorkshire market town to include contemporary insertions such as open plan living, sound proofing acoustics and working at home space and technology that bring the property into the 21st century. Long before the pandemic, our client had been thinking about how technology 28 - www.refurbandrestore.co.uk
was transforming work and adopted hybrid working. Now based in a ‘15 min city’, this property provides a family home and a Hub for the client’s business. The house had been subject to numerous alterations over the years, with many of the original features obscured, removed or poorly maintained, but it was clear that a major
refurbishment would bring it up to its potential. The vision was to create a light, bright, individual family home while also ensuring that the design reflected and enhanced the qualities of the original architecture. The original part of the house has spectacular ceiling heights, so the client wanted to ensure that they enjoyed maximum use of them.
