The Coach House: Stunningly Revamped British Home with Light-Filled Interiors

ByMyProperty Life

Revamping and giving an old home a new lease of life is something that saves both time and resources. It makes for a lot more practical choice to give the aging house a quick revamp and a smart extension instead of demolishing it completely and erecting a new residence. This is just what you get with The Coach House designed by Studio 30 Architects; a contemporary extension and makeover of a Victorian house that is anything but mundane. Since the homeowners wanted the transformation on a budget, smart spatial ideas and glass walls and ceilings were used to usher in natural light and alter the ambiance.

Beautifully revamped coach house in UK with a contemporary kitchen and dining space

It is the kitchen and dining area in the rear that becomes the heart and soul of the new Coach House with even the front door getting a modern makeover. The lower level now feels fresh and beautiful with light flowing into even the deepest parts of the house. A glass ceiling has been used for the extension along with glass walls and sliding doors to ensure that the interior is always connected with the outdoors visually. Reconfigured outdoor areas also add to sense of spaciousness while the upper levels hold modern bedrooms and bathrooms in white.

  • Taula House

    Taula House is a single-family residence designed for a multi-generational family in the Preston Hollow Neighborhood of Dallas, Texas. The name “Taula” House is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning “Balance.” Guided by the Hindu architecture principles of Vastu shastra, this modern dwelling expresses a balance between traditional beliefs and contemporary ideologies of design. Symmetry, directional alignments, spatial geometry, and delicate detailing were all paramount to the design success of the project. The exterior façade is clad with precast concrete, weathered steel, and dark grey basalt stone. Accents of Brazilian Ipe siding, polished stucco, and zinc composite panel complete the material palette ensemble. The shroud of textures and natural hues are enhanced throughout the day, as the sunlight dances and dapples across each elevation. Ribbons of steel framed glass spread in large vertical and horizontal expanses. Taula House’s structure consists of a steel perimeter frame to support the lateral load of the large precast concrete panels. The 53 unique panels extend full height, with no horizontal joints, and some reach over 30 feet tall. Wood trusses provide clear spans, creating the opportunity for the interior of the house to have no load-bearing walls. A minimalist approach to interior finishes focuses attention on the architecture and precise detailing of the house. Highlights of the exterior palette make their way into the house with a refined use of weathered steel panels and basalt stone floors and walls. The monumental stair at the entry of the house is prominently featured behind a 20-foot tall curtain wall of glass. The stair’s steel structure employs a double-cantilevered switchback design clad with white oak treads. Overall, Taula House reflects the family’s love for entertainment and the importance of peaceful seclusion. There is a graceful mix of public and private – both gathering and intimate spaces. Bold expression and materiality is not lost on this house, yet there is calmness in the beauty.
