Interior Design for a Georgian Grade II Listed Property
At the heart of this interior design project lies a dialogue between historical preservation and transformation.

Each intervention was executed with a deep reverence for the Georgian property’s Grade II listed status, ensuring historic elements remained untouched where possible and thoughtfully reinterpreted where necessary.
The Language of Quintessential Georgian Design and Modern-Day Living
WOOLF’s interpretation of quintessential Georgian design celebrated proportion, period style while introduced an unmistakable softness and creativity that introduces the family’s personality.

These architectural features provide a foundation for an interior palette that enhance the townhouse’s light and form. Symmetry is balanced by modern fluidity; each room unfolds into the next, united by vibrant interiors. This fusion of classic Georgian and modern animated design highlights WOOLF’s expertise in period interior design and listed building work while fusing it with contemporary living.
Curated Interiors for Contemporary Living

The kitchen sits at the heart of the home, while the living areas were designed to foster quiet reflection and social connection and the bedrooms were an opportunity for each family member to showcase their character. Each design element was intentional and there was an importance to create a feeling of a warm family home that expresses each of family member’s personality and style.
