Ellerker Family Home

Our clients came to us after purchasing a wonderful old Granary, in a picturesque East Yorkshire village. Previously converted to a family home about 40 years ago, it was in need of some serious renovation and updating for modern family living.
The first step was to reconfigure the existing floor plans, both on the ground floor and the first floor, opening up the kitchen, dining and casual lounge spaces and adding en-suites to 3 of the bedrooms. Next we produced a full set of drawings for their builder to work to, which included all new layouts, electrical, plumbing and general arrangement plans, as well as specifications and elevations for each room.

Regular site meetings were held throughout the project, to answer questions from the builder and his trades. We designed all of the spaces from the open plan kitchen diner, to the formal lounge, principal bedroom suite and kids bedrooms, each with ensuite. This included specifying fixtures and fittings, wall finishes, floor finishes, window treatments (curtains, roman blinds and sun rollers for the south facing rooms) and lighting throughout.

 

Each bathroom was designed individually to suit the person using it, so a double vanity and walk-in shower in the principal ensuite, smaller more compact vanities in interesting colours in the kids bathrooms, both with enclosed showers, and the family bathroom was designed to be a restful space, with roll top bath and neutral colours.
