Harrow House
A generous family home reworked for three generations, with rooms that shift between quiet and celebration.
Harrow House is a large period home that had been extended twice over thirty years, leaving it with beautiful rooms that no longer spoke to each other. Our task was to make one coherent house out of the parts — a home for a growing family that still has room for grandparents, guests and long weekends.
We rebuilt the ground floor around a central living hall: the kitchen became the natural heart of the house, with a formal dining room kept for celebrations and a softer family room for everyday life. Upstairs, the principal suite and children’s rooms were re-planned for privacy, storage and calm.
Materials were chosen for hard wear and soft feeling — wide oak boards, lime plaster, wool, aged brass and a marble that marks gracefully rather than perfectly. The result is a house that looks considered in photographs and works in real life, dogs, muddy shoes and school runs included.
