01·The brief
A house for two collections
A couple — one collects ceramics, the other records — asked for a house that would hold both collections without becoming a gallery. The Victorian terrace was to keep its rooms; the interior was to be rebuilt inside them, wall by wall.
02·The approach
Rooms in sequence
The ground floor is replanned as an enfilade, each room opening into the next through smoked oak portals. Joinery walls carry the collections; a deep green stone hearth anchors the sequence, and waxed plaster keeps the light soft. Nothing shines but the brass.
03·The result
Completed in 2024
The interior was completed in 2024 and photographed a year later, once the collections had settled into the joinery. The house remains in private use and is published with the clients' consent.
