The architectural proposal is two-fold comprising the preservation of the historic value of the main dwelling and the reconstruction of the existing mews house (built more recently) located at the rear of the site. SHH’s design solution aims at creating a seamless flow between the main residence and the mews from a new glass link at ground level. The intention is to reinforce the contrast between the historic and modern side of the property and to allow users to feel as if they are transitioning between two distinct spaces.
