This five bedroom late Edwardian property was transformed from a dark cellular series of rooms into a large five bedroom family home. The addition of a basement provides a professional gym and yoga studio along with a Family/Music room. The roof was also extended to provide a home/office and guest bedroom. BR-ID worked in conjunction with Reading + West Architects to achieve this dramatic transformation.
The classic features of the entrance hall take on a contemporary feel with the encaustic patterned flooring. All features are carefully selected, nothing of the old house remained internally.
The connection to the entrance area is enhanced with the use of glazed double doors opening up the spaces, so there is a clear flow to the ground floor and all rooms are accessible.
The bay windows were enhanced with beautiful joinery and leather cushions.
Open plan from the living area, a bronze cabinet was designed by BR-ID which provided a back light to the dining experience whilst featuring the client’s collection of objets etc.
Cabinet details- the Nickel finished reception room cabinetry provides a lit display of the client’s objets.

The bay window once again provides seating area which addresses the garden to the rear of the house.
A large island provides the focal point to the kitchen breakfast area. As a professional chef, the specification of the bespoke kitchen was very important to the client.
The basement ceiling heights ensure decent light levels, the bespoke joinery was designed by BR-ID
The basement gm makes a great space for working out with the use of the light wells and mirror to enhance the light levels.
This lovely bedroom was designed to suit the client’s daughter with a view to lasting for her first decade.
This beautiful shower was detailed to incorporate this feature Bisazza mosaic tiling.
Master Bedroom detail
Mosaic tiling creates a colour pop that envelopes the shower area in this children’s bathroom.
The house contains three staircases to provide public and private access to certain parts of the property. The main stair has a sculptural quality connecting all floors of the house.
The beautiful elliptical stair shows the ground floor tiling from the top of the house.
