Located in one of Cheltenham’s most prestigious areas, Lypiatt Lodge presented the challenge of converting a Grade II Listed building into 13 traditional and elegant apartments. Constructed c1840-50 the property originally consisted of two semi-detached early Victorian villas. From the nineties the building operated as a care home and had been well maintained over the years with the added benefit of a lift already in situ. In converting the stunning building it was important to retain the heritage, presenting the challenge of combing character with modern living standards. The restoration involved meticulous detail to the period features, such as the cornicing and original shutters. Minimal historic fabric could be removed in order to meet planning policy for the conversion and the entire works had to be very sensitively carried out. This required significant creativity to divide the floors into appropriate apartment layouts. The property has received much attention with several apartments sold before reaching the open market.

Démolition et reconstruction d'un immeuble dans le centre historique de Castellammare del Golfo composé de petits appartements confortables où vous pourrez passer vos vacances. L'idée était de conserver l'aspect architectural avec un goût historique actuel mais en le reproposant dans une tonalité moderne.Des matériaux précieux ont été utilisés, tels que du parquet en bambou pour le sol, du marbre pour les salles de bains et le hall d'entrée, un escalier métallique avec des marches en bois et des couloirs en marbre, des luminaires encastrés ou suspendus, des boiserie sur les murs des chambres et dans les couloirs, des dressings ouverte, portes intérieures en laque mate avec une couleur raffinée, fenêtres en bois, meubles sur mesure, mini-piscines et mobilier d'extérieur. Chaque étage se distingue par la couleur, l'ameublement et les accessoires d'ameublement. Tout est contrôlé par l'utilisation de la domotique. Un projet de design d'intérieur avec un design unique qui a permis d'obtenir des appartements de luxe.

Entdecken Sie unsere Transformation eines historischen Juwels in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid! Wir freuen uns, unser neuestes Projekt in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid vorstellen zu können – ein zeitloses Juwel, das ursprünglich 1890 vom renommierten Architekten Jacob Klinkhamer entworfen wurde. Wir haben uns die reiche Geschichte dieses angesehenen Hauses zu eigen gemacht und es in ein einladendes und modernes Zuhause verwandelt, das sorgfältig auf die Bedürfnisse seiner neuen Familie zugeschnitten ist. Um das Erbe und die Schönheit der Straßenfassade zu bewahren, die unter Denkmalschutz steht, haben wir darauf geachtet, dass nur geringfügige Anpassungen vorgenommen wurden, um ihren historischen Charme zu bewahren. Doch hinter dem eleganten Äußeren wartete eine umfassende Innenrenovierung und bauliche Überarbeitung. Von der Vertiefung des Kellergeschosses bis zum Einbau eines Aufzugsschachts haben wir nichts unversucht gelassen, um diesen Raum für modernes Wohnen neu zu gestalten. Jeder Aspekt des Grundrisses wurde sorgfältig neu angeordnet, um die Funktionalität zu maximieren und einen nahtlosen Übergang zwischen den Räumen zu schaffen. Das Ergebnis? Eine harmonische Mischung aus klassischem und modernem Design, die den Geist der Vergangenheit widerspiegelt und gleichzeitig den Komfort von heute vereint. Das krönende Juwel dieses Projekts ist die Hinzufügung einer atemberaubenden modernen Dachterrasse, die einen atemberaubenden Blick auf die Skyline der Stadt bietet und der perfekte Ort für Entspannung und Unterhaltung ist. Wir laden Sie ein, die Transformation dieses historischen Juwels auf unserer Website zu erkunden. Erleben Sie die Verbindung von Charme der alten Welt mit moderner Eleganz und sehen Sie, wie wir ein Haus in ein geschätztes Zuhause verwandelt haben.

Traditional House Exterior with Four Floors Ideas and Designs

With so much attention devoted to interior design, the exterior of a home can often get overlooked, but as the first thing that welcomes both us and our guests, it is worth devoting some time tending to the outside of your house. Furthermore, focusing on the traditional kerb appeal of your home can add significant value if and when it comes time to sell up. Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian homes, with their bay windows and elegant plasterwork, often benefit from built in architecture advantages, but even if your house design is unassuming from the outside, small decorative and structural improvements to the traditional exterior of your home can equal huge impact. Key areas of building design to focus on are the front door, the driveway or approach to your home, the porch area, the windows, the facade and the roof. And just a note of caution... before any significant traditional exterior architecture gets under way, check first whether you need planning permission for your exterior house designs– this applies particularly to listed houses or buildings in a conservation area, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Take a look through the house designs, exterior architecture and images of front doors and driveways on Houzz to inspire your facade or building design, or read on for a few more pointers when it comes to redesigning your exterior.

How do I give my home an exterior facelift?

You may feel like your home’s exterior architecture is unalterable but there are a wide range of options available to improve its external building design, no matter what raw materials you begin with. Begin with the front door and the pathway or driveway that lead up to your home as these are easy to improve without huge budgets. A driveway or pathway must be kept neat and tidy and you can consider replacing tarmac with attractive tiles or gravel. Repainting or replacing the fence, wall or gate that fronts your home can also offer an overnight transformation without breaking the bank. An area to not cut corners however is the front door, where spending a little extra can make a huge difference in quality, and painting it in a colour you love will pay you back every time it welcomes you home! Updating your windows can be a significant building design project but it is one that has benefits both inside and out, as well as potentially saving you money on energy later. If you are lucky enough to have period windows such as bay windows with sash or leaded windows, then maintaining them should be a top priority, but if they are beyond repair then there are plenty of window professionals that will offer modern, double or triple glazed equivalents that could still work in your bay window. Working with uPVC? Not a problem – the best improvement you can make is to ensure your windows are the right size and shape for your home's overall proportions.

How do I update my home’s facade?

When it comes to updating the facade of your home, painting is the quickest and most affordable way to achieve a traditional makeover, and if you opt for a colour other than white it can really make a statement (although sticking within the palette of your road and local area is advisable). A makeover that requires a bit more patience but can add romance and character to the most mundane of homes is to adorn the walls with climbing plants – delicate trailing wisteria is ever a British favourite, whilst roses and jasmine offer fragrance as well as beauty. If you’re looking to make more significant changes to the exterior of your home, whether that is adding timber cladding, hanging tiles, installing a bay window or rendering, then you should first check whether your house designs require planning permission. A New England style wood boarded home is beautiful and bright, but remember that it will need frequent repainting if it is going to stay looking its best, whilst stucco render or Tyrolean render can tidy up a home's exterior but think carefully before covering over original brickwork.

What should I consider if building a home from scratch?

If you’re working with an architect on a brand new build, the options are endless when it comes to deciding on the exterior architecture. But first things first, you will need to check planning permissions, building regulations and local restrictions, such as being in a conservation area, to make sure your plans for your exterior house designs will meet stipulations. If you are building in a street with predominantly Victorian facades, with bay windows and side returns, you might need to ensure your house designs fit in with the rest of the homes on the street, but if you’re building in a more remote area you’ll probably have more freedom for your building design. There are many architectural decisions to make, do you want a flat, gabled, hipped, mansard or perhaps even a curved roof? Do you want bay windows? Crittall windows? Perhaps external shutters? Do you want glass walls? Do you want wood cladding? Do you want a very symmetrical building design or something more contemporary? The decision is all yours but remember to consider the benefits of various materials over others and the effects that some architecture styles will have on everyday life, for example glass walls will look attractive but will give you less privacy. Your architect or builder will be able to guide you through the best traditional exterior architecture choices for your house designs.
