Sydenham

This victorian house in Hyndland, Glasgow was a typical example of a long neglected, overgrown shell which required patience, experience, expertise and a detailed eye for space and design. The architect had designed an extension on the side of the property to house a utility, pantry and an extra room.

We were commissioned to do the building and renovation but it soon mushroomed into a bespoke cabinetry and joinery commission.

We could see the challenges of awkward rooms with not much storage which required careful space planning to maximise its potential. Working in harmony with the client to understand their lifestyle, workflow, extended family requirements and with our experienced and talented design and manufacturing team, we were able to breathe a new life into this house – with cabinetry that was functional, suited to the property yet had that very updated understated look.

We created floor to ceiling storage where possible. We left no space untouched – from nooks in stair landings, to storage under bespoke made bunk beds, vanity niches, window seating and under stairs! We also added some panelling to the bathroom areas.

We built a new staircase, handcrafted all the internal and external doors and the sash and case windows in our workshop. New joinery including curved detailed skirting boards, architraves, glazed sliding doors we all manufactured in house.

The stonework into the new extension was restored to its original glory as was the original cornicing. The ground floor was tiled with underfloor heating. The original fireplace was carefully restored.
