Ivanhoe, 2017
The restoration of this 1970s house to its former glory after a 1990s renovation was a labour of love for all concerned. Working to a tight budget, the ground floor was elaborated first, while the lower ground would lay dormant until 2021 rather than be compromised. By modifying the structural footprint only slightly, a main ensuite, walk-in-closet and study were added while the tiny kitchen and living areas remained at the centre of the house along Feng Shui principles, thus honouring the original Chinese owner.
