Transforming a Classic Home: Grace and Morris Architects’ Stunning Ilkley Renovation
At Grace and Morris Architects, we take pride in creating timeless, bespoke homes that blend modern living with architectural character. Our latest Ilkley residential project showcases the full potential of sensitive renovation and contemporary design — a complete transformation of a large existing home in the heart of Ilkley.
A Complete Renovation and Modern Extension
This impressive property underwent a full renovation, breathing new life into its traditional structure. Our team of Ilkley architects designed a striking extension that seamlessly complements the original building, balancing classic architectural proportions with modern detailing and materials.
The extension not only enhances the property’s functionality but also improves natural light, spatial flow, and the connection between interior and exterior spaces. The result is a home that feels both expansive and intimate — perfectly suited for modern family life in Ilkley.
Bespoke Features and Refined Detailing
A key feature of the project is the custom-designed staircase, crafted to be a sculptural centrepiece within the home. Every element, from its form to its finish, was carefully considered to create a focal point that reflects the client’s taste and our dedication to craftsmanship.
The house also features bronze-framed windows, adding warmth and a refined architectural tone. These windows provide a subtle yet luxurious aesthetic while ensuring excellent performance and durability.
Enhanced Exterior and Practical Design
Externally, we designed a new double car garage to complement the main house and meet the client’s practical needs without compromising on style. A beautifully detailed fishtail block driveway completes the approach to the home, offering a sophisticated and durable finish that enhances the property’s kerb appeal.
