Great site visit and catch up with the client and contractor on our live heritage project!
Progress is looking brilliant:
Restoring the Exterior: We’ve removed a non-original external staircase and rebuilt the external wall, repointing with traditional lime mortar. The contractors have it draped in hessian to protect the lime from the heat while it cures ☀️
Framing Views: Inside, a new brick archway has been formed to perfectly match an existing historic arch—it’s going to draw your eyes straight out into the garden once the external opening is cut 🏡
The Final Character: We’re lining the interior walls with Diathonite—a natural, breathable lime render for extra insulation. Best of all, we’re giving it a bagged finish for a softly undulating texture packed with character 🙌
