Fernhill House
The brief & site
A substantial Ascot home stripped back to its structure and remade — every room, surface and service renewed to an exacting modern standard.
Take the house back to shell and rebuild it as a calm, light-filled modern home, without losing the generosity of the original plan.

How we resolved it.
A new oak-and-steel staircase anchors the entrance hall — pale oak treads over charred risers, a blackened-steel rail, and a full-height glass screen borrowing light from the front door. The same restraint carries through every room: lime plaster, natural stone and dark joinery.
