The Parc BIO
We’ve got a soft spot for unloved buildings, especially those with a time-capsule character, and The Parc delivered just that. The house, having never truly had a functional kitchen due to its age and lack of modernisation, offered a rare design and exciting opportunity.
We began by securing planning permission, guided by our vision for the interior and a few months spent getting to know the clients, Tim and Sinéad. From the start, it was clear we’d found kindred spirits – united by a shared love of vintage style, thoughtful design, and playful storytelling through materials.
Skip straight to exploring:
The Lifestyle Space
We reimagined the entire kitchen configuration, breaking away from conventional layouts of the time. Reclaimed materials salvaged during demolition were repurposed to create a unique raft detail and a warm, character-filled storage section.
Tim’s favourite car – a Morris Minor – inspired several small and delightful touches woven into the design, giving the space a nostalgic heart without losing its sophistication.
Upstairs, we opened up the bedroom tower, installing a glass ceiling and uplighting to add vertical drama and architectural joy. The result? A home layered with details that surprise, delight, and offer moments of quiet admiration as you move through this beautifully reimagined period property.
Finalist
We we’re so daunted by this house and really needed a lot of help to understand what was possible. Turns out a lot! My love of retro furniture was a big driver and forward thinking was required to create the space for the pieces I had. The kitchen was really technical with the huge steels needed but Project One made it so simple – to get what we wanted from a kitchen rather what the Howdens computer said we could have, was a liberating experience. Converting the attic and tower into a master bedroom suite has made the way we live a way better experience. Thank you for all your hardwork and dedication.
