Barberstown House/ Full Architectural Service
A refined country manor
This extensive renovation and first-floor extension transformed a dated "Bungalow Bliss" home into a refined country manor. While the overall floor area remained modest, the ground-floor ceiling height was raised from 8 to 10 feet, dramatically enhancing the spatial experience.
The redesign balanced traditional and contemporary elements, creating a home that blends classic elegance with modern functionality. The exterior was reimagined with brick, render, stone parapets, and large timber sash windows, evoking the grandeur of a manor house.
Inside, the layout was carefully reconfigured for both family living and formal entertaining. Expansive sash windows maximize natural light from the south and west, enhancing the airy, open-plan interiors. Custom joinery, feature lighting, and architectural focal points add refinement throughout.
This transformation stands as a testament to RSDS Architects’ ability to reimagine existing structures into sophisticated, contemporary homes while retaining timeless charm.
