Coaching inn restoration

A seventeenth-century coaching inn with low ceilings and uneven floors, restored without straightening anything.

The brief

  • Heritage refurbishment
  • 22 individual guest rooms
  • Bar and dining refurbishment
  • Antique sourcing

Every room is a different shape. Rather than impose a standard, we designed twenty-two individual rooms from one material family.

The bar keeps its stone floor and its draught. We added light and left the rest alone.

Nothing here is level. Correcting it would have cost the building.
