Reclaimed materials include terracotta tiles from a derelict building, discarded Victorian floorboards from another TAK project, and original doors from the client’s childhood home. Kitchen and bathroom tiles, as well as the paint used, were also left over from other projects. The metal balustrade was made in a small local workshop just 10 miles away from the site. Raw plaster walls create a calming atmosphere. The use of natural and recycled materials add to the character of the space. Reuse and staying true to materials are key themes of the project, and also played a vital role in keeping to a modest budget.
