PROJECT: BROWNSLOW HOUSE
A MODERN BARN CONVERSION COMBINING TRADITIONAL EXPOSED BEAMS WITH MODERN DESIGN FEATURES FOR A SOPHISTICATED AND TRULY ‘ENGLISH’ FEEL PROJECT OVERVIEW This modern barn conversion with expansive views of the scenic North English countryside combines traditional exposed beams with modern design features for a sophisticated and truly ‘English’ feel. HOW WE HELPED Northbank Pine, one of our recent Rare Finds, was specified throughout the home, seamlessly flowing from room to room, balancing the large space. These wide, long planks were reclaimed from a warehouse on the banks of the River Mersey (a famous river which runs through the North of England and was instrumental in the British industrial revolution) where they were being used as beams. We brought the beams back to our restoration centre, where our artisans transformed them into a wide plank engineered floor that pairs historic reclaimed wood with modern construction technology. The boards were brushed and finished with Naked Skin Lacquer to ensure there was no colour change to the pale, elevated grain. Claremont, from our Bold Surfaces portfolio, was used on the ceilings of the property. OUTCOME This floor has been in place for several years now and the patina is only growing richer and richer as it is walked upon by the family throughout its lifecycle. The wood will continue to mature, which is the beauty of a wooden floor, adding grace and poise as it ages. By pairing reclaimed woods on the flooring and ceiling, the designer of this property has created a serene space which is perfect for modern family living, with the project providing a welcome link to the natural world and the past, without having to compromise on modern-day durability and stability.
