Clients & projects: Retiring in Style

A home in Bishop’s Stortford dating from the 1970’s has been extended, reconfigured and extensively refurbished to a high specification.

Our clients, recently retired, wanted to maximise the quality of their space and accommodate their many interests & hobbies.

As well as the two storey extension Stewart & Stewart also designed the interiors & furniture which includes a new free-standing oak cantilevered staircase within the new more expansive entrance hall, the fit-out of two new study spaces, an enlarged principal bedroom suite as well as two new bathrooms.

Bespoke joinery has been incorporated throughout including oak panelling, desks, shelving, wardrobes & a dressing table. We also helped select loose furniture and other soft furnishings.

Incorporating their art & house-plant collection throughout the house was important too and the new entrance screen & canopy incorporates shelving to display sculpture within its oak framing optimising display and natural daylight.

The project also incorporated significant audio-visual & lighting technology throughout.
