Houzz Tour: A quiet elegant Georgian house - After purchasing this beautiful Georgian house in a village in Bedfordshire, Joe Burns, his wife Sharon and their young son actually moved the adjoining barn. The house was in a habitable condition, but the family wanted to expand and renovate, and needed time to plan space and think of ideas. Once their thoughts had crystallized somewhat, they knew exactly who to call. "Joe is our CEO, 'laughed Katia Perez, head of design of the interior design practice and property development of luxury Oliver Burns," so of course we were going to work on this project with him!
The couple wanted to extend the stay to the west and the kitchen to the east, to create two large key rooms on the ground floor. They sacrificed a formal dining room space to create a games room for their son between these two spaces, and extended to create an additional bedroom with bathroom in the attic.
When it came to the look and feel of the newly extended home, the brief was clear. "They wanted to be in harmony with the age of the property," says Katia. "So there are classic elements such as checkerboard flooring in the hallway and the elegant staircase.
In addition, the home has many custom touches to a general feeling of understated luxury that belies the nature of the family home. "There are practical touches, too, like the industrial quality cloth on the kitchen bench, Katia said. Sharon also added pieces of the main street, so the house feels really easygoing and everyone can relax and enjoy.
