Liberton Villa
The holistic upgrade, reconfiguration and extension of an existing villa in Liberton, returning the building to its fine Victorian character and to provide a modern kitchen and dining space that embraces the south-facing garden.
The building was used as a nursery for many years, with layers of additions, so much of the work to the existing building is stripping back these layers to reveal the fine Victorian building underneath, including connecting in an attached Victorian stable.
A highly insulated timber lined dining room is formed at the rear of the property, with large single pane rooflight and stone floor, to provide a warm and contemporary counterpoint to the world of Victorian painted finishes inside the existing building.
The building is being comprehensively thermally upgraded, with new slimline double glazing to existing sash and case windows, thermal insulation added to the roof and ground floor, and triple glazed windows and rooflight to the new extension.
