Stone Cross, Residential Apartments
Cumbria
Project
Stone Cross Mansion Apartments is a unique refurbishment of Stone Cross Mansion – a stunning grade-2 gothic style manor originally built as a family home in 1874. The manor was left to dereliction in 2001 until development began in 2018.
Our customer, Youth Studio, were asked by the developer to consult on how to respectfully restore and modernise this historic building whilst keeping the existing ornate architectural features such as stone carvings, decorative tiled floor and beautifully worked joinery in a modern and contemporary manner, ready for new residents.
Solution
Our customers’ design approach was to play with the buildings existing tones, developing them into a muted, yet meaningful palette, juxtaposing features through joinery and materiality that highlighted both the beauty and contrasts of the old and new.
This special collection of 19, two and three bedroom apartments, uses Edmund Bell’s REVIVE sheer throughout to provide privacy whilst still allowing as much light as possible through the beautiful ornate windows. VENUS dimout is used in the communal areas, this soft handle plain weave has excellent practical qualities including acoustic sound absorption which is ideal for the large rooms and high ceilings within the manor; decreasing any sound reverberation and echos.
