Classic Contemporary | Horton & Co

Working closely with the architect, we developed the designs to refurbish this stunning grade II listed Vicarage. Our brief was to create a classic, contemporary home for the discerning young clients and their children. At the same time, we had to consider the architectural integrity of this stunning, historic building. We designed the internal finishes to complement the property’s character. We worked on floor finishes, door furniture, lighting plans, furniture layouts and bathroom designs, and supplied and installed all floor coverings, furniture, soft furnishings and accessories. The client has three young children who really enjoyed participating in the design process. They were able to be creative and imaginative, fully supported by our expertise and guidance.

    [content] => Our client had a passion for New England houses and, because the sea was nearby, requested some seaside influences. We were briefed to create a family space with a room for everyone, using local materials.

The design process was very much a joint effort with the client, who had her own exquisite style. Horton undertook the implementation of the interior schemes and soft furnishings throughout the property. This included bathroom design, joinery and lighting plans.

The shutters, cladding and meticulous detail on the joinery were the client’s favourite elements of the finished project.

Lighting was a huge focus for the designers on this project: by day the light, airy rooms maximise the beautiful coastal views from every angle. By night the home transforms into a cosy, intimate haven with the landscapes artistically framed by perfectly positioned intelligent outdoor lighting.

    [content] => Horton were brought in from the beginning on this project alongside the main contractor and architect, meaning we were able to give early design input to the space, room layouts and features.
Our client spent time in Asia and wanted this influence - characterised by bright colour and unusual accessories - reflected in their home. All the rooms had a different feel and we aimed to create warm, relaxing spaces that were suitable for entertaining.
Each bedroom and bathroom had a unique concept, giving us the opportunity to include details reflecting various design styles.
Our favourite space was the Moroccan room, which featured a lantern made by a specialist ironmonger with bespoke hand-painted panels. Our client chose the panel designs and we sourced the glass from warehouses and reclamation yards in London.
