PROJECT UPDATE. A GLAZED FINISH FIT FOR A KING Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire.
We were commissioned to design part of a staircase for one of the barns that would enhance the property which is now very much in the 21st century, modernised and bright and airy. We designed a fully glazed balustrade and incorporated coffee table in a unique setting, at the timber apex or peak of an earlier roof that was now ‘poking’ through the floor!
