North Oxford Extension Design

Almost one year on, and some new images show the extension to this North oxford house is settling nicely into its surroundings. Rogue Designs were commissioned to radically re-work an existing planning proposal to create this single story extension along side refurbishment and restoration of the entire four storey Edwardian property. Working alongside Oxfordshire architect Ifor Rhys, we developed the designs from architectural drawings to include detailed interior design, exterior landscape design, and bespoke kitchen design and planning. We developed specification of all the individual elements such as sliding glass doors, wood burning stove, stone flooring and bespoke furniture, and took the project though tender phase to project managing the build phase to completion. A lovely exercise in open and sociable living, the soft greys and natural grey stone flooring bridge the junction between the traditional architecture of the house and its sleek glassy counterpoint.

Clay pavers in landscape design

Using clay pavers in landscape design: a sustainable, sympathetic and free draining alternative to machine made paving blocks. Our full gallery about the porch design and build, patterned encaustic tiles, bespoke iron railings and front garden design scheme is here.

The back of the house is a bit special too! 


New arts and crafts: kitchen and living room

Part of complete refurbishment of this beautiful historic five storey property in Oxford's Parktown. Working closely with our client, the brief was to restore and rejuvenate the property, whilst being sensitive to its history and age, taking a gentle approach so as not to lose any of its historical character.

Inspired as 'new' arts and crafts, a bespoke kitchen handmade in solid maple with hand carving and brass detailing, leading to a through living room with relaxed seating and bespoke alcove shelving with carved doors. French doors open on to the gardens, each one with a hand painted mural where the completed picture is revealed when the shutters are closed, of abstracted hellebores in the living room and fennel heads in the kitchen, also used to decorate the illuminated splash backs designed for the project. Lighting is suspended to avoid puncturing the original lathe and plaster ceilings. in the living room, a floor lamp crafted by Ango World is made up of hundreds of natural silk worm cocoons acts as a reading light over a vintage chesterfield daybed upholstered in Marimekko fabric. 

Features: handcrafted kitchen in solid maple by rogue-designs, lighting by Album, Secto and Ango World, furniture by B+B Italia and Hans Wegner.
