A Victorian house that needed general renovation and expansion.
The project included planning, construction and general renovation and, of course, the design and styling of the entire house. The family, numbering 5 people, asked for a bright and modern house that would contain work areas, a utility room and an open space that includes a large kitchen, dining area and family corner.
In a joint decision with the customers, we have preserved some of the original features of the house like the tiles floor in the entrance and the cornice works in the ceiling which preserves the Victorian charm and creates an interesting combination of old and new.
Fortis Green House
The Fortis-Green project involved a major transformation of a five-bedroom semi-detached house, extending both the loft and the rear garden to create more living space. The goal was to combine openness with a sense of intimacy, making the home versatile for family activities. The main feature of the design was a large open-plan area that included a TV zone, kitchen, and dining space.
The style was a blend of mid-century design and natural South African influences, reflected in an earthy color palette. Original wooden elements were preserved to maintain the house’s character, while new finishes, furniture, textiles, and carefully chosen accessories added warmth and a natural feel throughout the space.
TESTIMONIALS
"We were so pleased that our builders recommended Tamar to us and only wish we'd met her before our project started! Despite starting relatively late in the project, Tamara's support, advice and creative flair was invaluable. She listened carefully to all of our thoughts and wishes and worked closely with us to make sure we achieved the result we were hoping for. She has strong partnerships with local suppliers which made sourcing the finishing touches seamless and hassle-free. With a strict eye for detail, she oversaw these finishing stages impeccably."
