AFL Build recently undertook a prestigious project, tasked with the refurbishment and extension of a Grade II listed Victorian house located in the heart of Bow. The house, which had fallen into disrepair, was in dire need of a comprehensive overhaul to restore its former glory. With expertise and precision, AFL Build embarked on a journey to revive this architectural gem, breathing new life into its timeworn features.
Upon acquisition, the property presented itself as a challenge, having been divided into two flats across five storeys. AFL Build’s objective was clear: to delicately restore the historical elements while infusing modern comforts. Their approach involved not only careful attention to detail but also a respect for the heritage intrinsic to the building.
Central to the project was the creation of a warm and inviting family abode. AFL Build diligently incorporated the client’s vision, prioritizing the preservation of original features such as floorboards, cornices, and ceiling roses. Where damage had occurred or elements were missing, the team skillfully replicated or sourced authentic replacements, ensuring continuity in design and authenticity in execution.
One of the highlights of the renovation was the addition of a small extension at the rear of the lower ground floor, transforming it into a spacious family room. This thoughtful expansion seamlessly integrated with the existing structure, enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. AFL Build’s expertise in blending contemporary elements with timeless charm was evident throughout the process.
The choice of finishes played a pivotal role in realizing the project’s vision. From the application of lime plaster on walls to the use of handmade tiles and refurbished timber floors, every detail was meticulously selected to harmonize with the property’s historic character. The resulting palette of natural tones exuded elegance and warmth, creating a serene ambiance conducive to modern family living.
In conclusion, AFL Build’s renovation of the Grade II listed Victorian house in Bow stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence and preservation. Through skillful craftsmanship and a deep understanding of architectural heritage, they have not only revived a dilapidated structure but also crafted a timeless masterpiece—a comfortable and welcoming family home that honors the past while embracing the present.
