cubitt house

A wonderful mid-Victorian house, grand and confident.. but sorely in need of  updating. Our brief was to make the loft a comfortable, serene, quiet - but efficient space for two of the children. Two bedrooms, one with a small shower for him. A bedroom and separate bathroom, built into the eaves, for her. The building has settled over the last 160 years... I used a huge oak frame to reinstate a flat and level grid to the space. Within this, it was very natural - rather like a trip to the beach, pebbles to the base of the cupboards (with a nod to Gio Ponti) huge sand-grain porcelain tiles, green (iron) glass and Mylands muted marble colours. 

Connell Wingrave made all and everything.
