In a home with plenty of natural light, or when combined with light colours, facebrick walls do have their appeal.

What started out as stables has become a double-storey home with open floor plan. The large open space houses living room, kitchen, dining room, office and various entertainment areas surrounded by the original brick walls and large floor-to-ceiling windows.

The main living area is kitted out with contemporary furniture, with the focal point being the white leather sofas that dominate the centre of the space. Alongside this area are various dining and relaxation areas that encapsulate the main living area. A corner on the main floor functions as a study/office. The majority of furniture and fittings in the new space were supplied by Minim, who design contemporary furniture for a variety of clients.
