A Malvern couple are reunited with a quarter of their home.
Located on a leafy Malvern street, a residence originally designed by architect Marcus Martin in the 1930s required a refresh for the clients after their children had left home.
The brief was to create a sense of warmth and comfort, reimagine an under-used sector of the home and create a greater connection with the generous outdoors area.
Nexus Designs began by flipping the living and dining space completely, reconfiguring the dining area to the sunny windows with a view to the garden and pool, and moving the sofa grouping to the other side of a central fireplace to make it cosier and more welcoming.
The other large wing of the ground floor required a more dramatic spatial intervention, as the couple were not using it at all. Nexus Designs employed joinery and doors to divide it into two rooms rather than one, creating a second combined dining and wine room, and a separate snug with a fireplace.
In the kitchen a custom brass sink was added to bring daily joy to doing the dishes, as was new joinery, updated appliances and lighter timber flooring and walls.
From the upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms a seductively curving 30s staircase unfurls to the living area below, where the study was made more functional and soft roman blinds installed throughout to allow in the sunshine and the stars.
By carefully considering the needs of the clients, Nexus Designs was able to a deliver a residence that retains its integrity whilst catering to their patterns of living in the next stage of their habitation of the historic property.
Now enjoying the entirety of their home with improved light, flow and comfort, the clients are set to for years to come.
