An iconic grade-II gothic style manor house built in 1878, Stone Cross sits in rural Cumbria and was left to dereliction in 2001 until development began in 2018.

We were approached by Persimmon Homes to consult on how to respectfully restore and modernise this historic building. The challenge was to compliment 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.

Our 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.
