For this project , we transformed a former rectory into a warm and characterful family home. A place where the original architectural details are celebrated, while everyday family life takes centre stage. With room for colour, thoughtful details and spaces for everyone, including a dedicated playroom.
But what actually goes into a complete interior design and renovation project?
At Studio Alter, every project starts with understanding the people who will use the space. We explore their needs, the atmosphere, materials and overall design direction before translating these ideas into spatial layouts and design proposals.
From there, we develop the design down to the smallest details, considering everything from custom cabinetry, lighting and furniture to materials and finishes.
Once the design is complete, the renovation begins. We can also stay involved throughout the ex*****on, working closely with contractors and suppliers to make sure the design comes to life as intended.
De Oude Pastorie is a beautiful example of this process. There’s simply too much to share in one post, so we’re starting with a first look at the ground floor. More spaces and details from the rest of the house will follow soon.
