Quatrefoil House
Located in the heart of Oxford's conservation area and surrounded by the oldest university in the English-speaking world. The refurbished home takes inspiration from the Gothic revival style of the existing 1870’s townhouse. The addition is an exploration of ornament - expressed using a quatrefoil tectonic tile in steel and bronze and is effortlessly supported by a singular white concrete column. The new facade can be deconstructed into a series of components whose existence is wholly dependent on the language of the main house and its historical context.
From the Client
“We knew that the transformation would require an ambitious vision. We understood this would be rare and difficult to find, but on completion, we’ve realised that our architect possessed this skill in abundance.”
