The complete gut renovation of a group of brick manor houses set in a Normandy park — stripped back to structure and rebuilt room by room. New layouts opened the ground floor between kitchen, scullery and dining hall, while arched brick openings were reglazed floor to ceiling to pull the garden inside. Every joinery element is bespoke: painted grey-green cabinetry, a glazed lantern hood over the island, a walnut library with rolling ladder, and a zellige-tiled chimney breast set against terracotta floors. The result is a house that reads as it always did from the park, and entirely renewed within.

Kitchen dining table with oak chairs, range cooker and glazed grey tiled splashback — Family table beside the range.

Chimney breast clad in pale blue-green zellige tiles above a terracotta tiled floor — Zellige chimney breast.

Walnut library bookcase with rolling ladder and reading sconces beside a linen sofa — Walnut library with rolling ladder.

Brick arcade with full-height glazed arched doors opening onto a paved garden terrace — Arched openings reglazed floor to ceiling.
