Nestled along a leafy lane on the outskirts of Winchester sits The Runners House. This classical English house was transformed by AR Design Studio into a cozy five-bedroom family house with a double-height entrance and an interior that exudes elegance and inviting warmth. The main living space is the soul of the new house and has a seamless connectivity with the outdoor garden and deck area, thanks to the sliding glass doors. Once a tired building with a confusing layout, the house now boasts a contemporary update that really transforms the house into the five-bedroom family home that it desperately needed to be.
A grand, double-height entrance guides you into the building, immediately bringing you into the heart of the home which has now become the main living space for the family. The old English house contains the kitchen, dining area and the living areas, a neutral color scheme combined with the wonderful use of wood panels on the accent wall gives the residence a refreshing modern look. A large expanse of sliding glazing gives views into the garden, allowing the three children to run wild while the parents can relax in the central space and still keep a watchful eye. At the heart of this space on the lower level is the sculptural steel staircase with metallic wires that add to its distinct silhouette. The smart staircase instantly captures your attention and offers textural and visual contrast.
