THE GROVE
A sensitive restoration of a fire-damaged Grade II-listed home, including new central staircase, an extension into the basement to create a gym and additional living space
The project involved restoring and upgrading a historic residence in Highgate, with a focus on enhancing natural light, spatial flow and connection to the surrounding landscape. The work included:
- Repairing fire-damaged sections while preserving historic features. Integrate Art collection
- Extending the basement to create a gym and additional living space.
- Improving the relationship between indoor and outdoor areas.
The Challenge
Restoring a listed property required careful coordination between conservation requirements and contemporary design needs. The integration of new elements had to respect the building’s charactyer while providing modern comfort
The Outcome
- Extended basement with sunken garden – A new outdoor space maximises light and creates a private retreat.
- Bespoke staircase and joinery – A sculptural staircase and custom cabinetry add functional elegance.
- Discreet modern features – Integrated lighting and AV systems blend into the historic
Why This Project Stands Out
This restoration and extension worked hard to preserve the home’s heritage, while improving its functionality, creating a comfortable living space tailored to the client’s lifestyle.
