Staniland House

After more than ten years in this Victorian villa, our clients wanted a home that could adapt to their changing needs. As a “forever home,” it needed to host extended family, large gatherings, and new work-from-home zones, while respecting its heritage.
We removed the rear of the house to create elegant, flexible spaces for entertaining and comfortable guest quarters with discreet disability-friendly features. The new kitchen and living area take full advantage of the northerly aspect, flowing seamlessly onto the deck. Four pairs of steel French doors open wide for gatherings, while a hidden butler’s pantry keeps the main space tidy.
Steel box windows, inspired by the red brick façade, provide extra seating and make the living room feel larger, offering cozy corners for quiet, private moments.
