Church Street Residence

A modern interpretation of a Victorian Townhouse.

Located where Daniel Dafoe once lived, the residence is a mid-Victorian House steeped in local history, where the brickwork was likely made from clay dug from Dafoe’s garden.

Taking inspiration from its history, it centers around a beautifully crafted staircase with iron balustrades and solid wood bannisters that winds through the four floors up to a skylight.

The second floor features a continuous cabinet that spans the length of the corridor and into the master bedroom, creating an open and continuous space.

This understated elegance is interspersed with a touch of glamour in the bathroom, which is finished with fluted tiles, mixed with Carrara marble and a hint of antiqued mirror.

The loft was opened up with additional skylights, to create a lounge space with low level furniture and underfloor heating. The interior brickwork was restored to give a sense of its original architecture and texture.
