2. This
grand
house
in
Cumbria
used
to
be
a
15
bedroom
old
peoples
home.
My
client
wanted
to
restore
it
back
to
a
family
residence.
As
well
as
designing
the
kitchen
I
also
converted
the
previously
derelict
cellar
into
this
wine
cellar.
I
designed
and
project
managed
the
the
builder
to
create
the
alcoves
with
the
local
slate
used
for
shelves.
I
wanted
to
keep
the
slightly
eerie
and
dramaEc
mood
so
arranged
for
the
lighEng
to
wash
down
the
walls
and
across
the
floor
rather
than
from
just
the
ceiling.

4. SomeEmes
restrain
is
required
to
design
appropriately
for
parEcular
types
of
properEes
and
parEcular
clients
taste.
This
Yorkshire
coJage
is
very
sweet
and
has
some
very
preJy
original
features.
It
was
very
important
to
add
interest
but
not
overpower
and
retain
a
tacEle
pracEcal
but
cozy
space.
5.
ConsideraEon
of
proporEon
and
noEce
of
ceiling
height
can
be
over-‐looked.
It
is
necessary
to
design
3
dimensionally
not
just
from
a
floor
plan.
I
try
to
design
in
the
elevaEon
and
think
about
the
three
dimensions.
The
ceiling
Height
on
the
leN
is
2300mm
and
on
the
right
2600mm.
The
canopy
on
the
right
although
on
the
wish
list
for
the
property
on
the
leN
cold
be
shrunk
to
fit
it
was
not
the
correct
soluEon.
It
is
important
to
consider
and
discuss
proporEon.
6. It
can
be
daunEng
someEmes
to
idesign
the
space
if
it
is
already
being
used
as
something
else
and
overcome
obstrucEons
such
as
this
very
deep
beam
in
this
garage
7. Here
is
the
result
of
the
garage
conversion.
I
decided
I
could
almost
vanish
the
beam
if
it
was
painted
out
and
used
in
a
way
that
harmonised
with
the
layout.
In
other
words-‐
it
had
to
respect
the
symmetry
of
the
layout
and
so
the
hanging
rack
is
centralised
under
it
–
the
clients
were
unconvinced
to
begin
with
but
very
happy
with
the
end
result
