Designed by: ArkleBoyce Architects
Built by: GEM Construction
For: The Homeowner
Marygate is a contemporary extension and re-imagining of a neo-classical dwelling from the 1950s. Situated on one of the most historic streets in York, it is almost entirely hidden by substantial boundary walls.
Our clients, were ambitious with the brief, and bold in their choice of property. The house required vision, and the client has played a significant part in developing a scheme.
We worked WITH the building, rather than AGAINST it. Our approach was to trust that the design process would deliver something spectacular creating a home nestled in its own garden oasis.
Judges comments from the Awards evening
“Our second award for a single residential project, is for a transformational refurbishment that has skilfully created a contemporary home, designed in response to its garden context and the current and future needs of the family living there. Material choice and detailing has been carefully considered whilst the layout masterfully allows spaces to both flow and remain separate. ”
