Contemporary Interiors with Limewash Walls in an Old School Building
I want to share an amazing conversion with you today. I love it when old buildings are brought to life, and this school conversion took my breath away. When you see the grand exterior of Flemish-bond brick and a towering pitched roof, you won’t believe that the interiors are modern, limewashed, and minimalistic.
The old school was built over 200 years ago, and the current owner has transformed it into a contemporary five-bedroom house with a cohesive material and color palette, curved lines, grand proportions, a steel staircase, and light-colored furnishings.
The open-plan kitchen and dining room are perhaps the most impressive spaces in the house. A polished concrete floor lies underfoot, and the kitchen features oak cabinets paired with a marble worktop.
The island, with a Bertazzoni range cooker, has a concrete worktop.
The dining area is minimalistic, with a glass table, three wicker pendants, and large French doors opening to the courtyard terrace.
The minimalistic sitting room is centered around a modern fireplace fitted into the original chimney breast and framed by a marble and wood wall finish.
The master bedroom is magnificent. The room is very spacious and features the original arched windows.
The rounded walls add a wonderful, soft atmosphere to the master suite. The adjacent bathroom features a freestanding Lusso Stone bath and a walk-in shower.
In the hallway, old and new meet. Original windows and arches are paired with a sleek architectural steel staircase.
The family bathroom features marble tiles, laid in a chevron pattern.
The house is listed for £1,950,000 at The Modern House.
