This refurbishment involved moving the kitchen from the first floor return to the basement (garden level). A double height space was created in the existing return to form a dining room which allows a connection between the formal living areas on the ‘piano nobile’ to the informal rooms below. At the end of the return a playroom at garden level and a study above can both be closed off with folding doors. Bathrooms were re-designed and the reception rooms restored to bring out their intrinsic qualities.
