GRADE II LISTED INTERIOR DESIGN PROJECT
Edwardian Country Manor
Poundon House is an Edwardian country manor adapted for contemporary hospitality use, where historic fabric and family provenance are carefully preserved alongside new layers of functionality. The project required a sensitive balance between conservation and operation, allowing the house to function as a boutique hotel and wedding venue while retaining the character, scale, and atmosphere of a lived-in family home.
Historic Interiors Across Periods
'Our Bath and London studios have extensive experience navigating listed building refurbishments, working collaboratively with planning consultants and conservation specialists where required.'
VERITY WOOLF, FOUNDER
WOOLF Interior Architecture & Design works with a deep understanding of historic interiors across Art Deco, Victorian, Edwardian, and Georgian periods. Our approach is rooted in architectural knowledge, allowing us to design interiors that respect historic fabric while supporting contemporary living and commercial use.
Projects often involve carefully unpicking earlier alterations and re-establishing clarity, upgrading historic interiors with considered new schemes that feel both appropriate and enduring.
WOOLF is proudly associated with the Bath Preservation Trust and The Georgian Group.
Grade II Listed City Landmark
Edwardian City Glamour
Oceanic House is a Grade II listed Edwardian building in Westminster, adapted for contemporary residential hospitality use. The project required a considered approach to conserving the building’s classical character and civic presence, while introducing the comfort, services, and spatial refinement expected of modern hotel apartments.
Grade II Listed Home
Quintessential Georgian Bath Villa
This Grade II listed Georgian villa in Bath required a sensitive interior approach that respected its classical proportions and historic detailing. The project balanced conservation with contemporary family living, carefully integrating modern comfort and functionality within the architectural discipline of the original townhouse.
Designing for Future Generations
'We approach historic interiors with knowledge, restraint, and long-term thinking - designing not just for today, but for the generations who follow.'
VERITY WOOLF, FOUNDER
Our studio brings deep experience to the sensitive adaptation of residential and commercial historic buildings. From Victorian and Regency townhouses to Georgian and early twentieth-century properties, we work to preserve architectural integrity while carefully introducing contemporary comfort and clarity. Each project is approached holistically, ensuring that interventions feel appropriate, measured, and enduring.
BOUTIQUE HOTEL DESIGN CONSULTATION
Irish Heritage Castle
Glin Castle is a Georgian Irish country house and National Heritage site adapted for contemporary hospitality use, while remaining the ancestral home of the FitzGerald family. The project required careful stewardship of architectural legacy and scale, balancing the operational demands of a boutique hotel with the preservation of a historic estate that has evolved over eight centuries.
