Fabco SanctuaryThis beautiful 4 storey, 19th Century home - with a coach house set to the rear - was in need of an extensive restoration and modernisation when STAC Architecture took over in 2015. The property was extended to 4,800 sq. ft. of luxury living space for the clients and their family. In the main house, a whole floor was dedicated to the master bedroom and en suite, a brand-new kitchen extension was added and the other rooms were all given a new lease of life. A new basement extension linked the original house to the coach house behind incorporating living quarters, a cinema and a wine cellar, as well as a vast amount of storage space. The coach house itself is home to a state of the art gymnasium, steam and shower room. The clients were keen to maintain as much of the Victorian detailing as possible in the modernisation and so contemporary materials were used alongside classic pieces throughout the house.
South Hill Park is situated within a conservation area and so special considerations had to be made during the planning stage. Firstly, our surveyor went to site to see if our product would be suitable, then our proposal and sample drawings were sent to the client. Once they were happy the work suited them aesthetically the proposal and drawings were sent to the conservation office for approval. Our proposal was approved and the client chose us to complete the work.
We created and fitted stunning bespoke steel windows and doors throughout the property, but the brand-new kitchen extension was where we really helped to add the ‘wow factor’ to this home. The bespoke steel double doors and screen set, installed at the rear of the property, spanned the height of the room. This Fabco feature, paired with the roof lights the clients also had installed, really helps to bring in as much natural light as possible into the kitchen.

VIMARSulle colline del Casentino, in una posizione panoramica privilegiata, sorge una delle ultime realizzazioni di Rubner Haus, una residenza privata che si avvale della tecnologia Vimar per consentire ai padroni di casa di vivere gli spazi interni nel migliore dei modi.
Come sottolineato dall’architetto Fortunato Fognani, autore del progetto, il concept che sta alla base di questa residenza va incontro ai principi della bio-architettura, grazie all’importante contributo di materiali ecologici ed energie rinnovabili. Tecniche costruttive all’avanguardia sono infatti state utilizzate con l’obiettivo di raggiungere il massimo risparmio energetico possibile sfruttando, tra gli altri, la geotermia e il fotovoltaico.
Anche la scelta della serie civile è quindi stata fatta in linea con i principi di ecocompatibilità alla base del progetto. La logica conseguenza è stata quella di installare la serie Arké, frutto di processi di lavorazione delle placche altamente innovativi e rispettosi dell’ambiente. Ne è un esempio il suo processo di colorazione, che avviene con tecnologia di reticolazione a raggi UV, che si caratterizza per un utilizzo considerevolmente minore di solventi e da vita a placche con una grande tenuta all’usura.
JLF & Associates, Inc.A creamery, built in the 1880s on the golden plains of central Montana, left to languish, roofless and abandoned. A lonely ruin now reborn as an ethereal emblem of timeless design. The anonymous Scottish stonemasons who originally laid the two-foot-thick walls would be proud of its resurrection as a custom residence rich with soul.

Anglian Home ImprovementsIn terms of actual space, there's a lot of open real estate here. The kitchen island, countertops and window sill will all act as crucial storage space when this kitchen becomes a bustling family spot.
