Nestled in a picturesque village with a charming mix of old honey-colored cottages, red brick, and timber-framed buildings, this remodeled home stands out as a modern architectural marvel. The village itself is a visual delight, with its high street lined with artisan shops and boutiques, all set against the stunning backdrop of the New Forest National Park. Amidst this idyllic setting, the Vawdrey House emerges as a testament to cutting-edge architecture, designing with expansive open spaces, floods of natural light, and a contemporary interior.
The Vawdrey House, renowned for its impressive architectural work in the New Forest region, took on this project enthusiastically. Partnering with Amron Architectural, Banker Wire’s representative in the UK, they embarked on a mission to reimagine and revitalize the property. Amron recommended using the Banker Wire SZ-2 woven wire mesh in a bare brass finish to help fill the vision for the interior design. Drawing inspiration from various influential design movements, including Mid-century, Japandi, Art Deco, and the works of Frank Lloyd Wright, the emphasis on natural materials, textures, and organic details creates a seamless connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape.
One of the standout features in the Vawdrey House design is the impressive 4-meter kitchen island featuring the SZ-2 brass mesh. Topped with ‘Black Diamond’ Richlite worktops, a dense, compressed paper product known for its durability, the island serves as both a functional workspace and a design statement. Additionally, raw brass SZ-2 woven mesh panels add a chic touch, creating a sense of industrial elegance.
This thoughtful integration of materials and design elements exemplifies the Vawdrey House’s commitment to creating a living finish for a living material, seamlessly blending functionality with artistic expression. Using the bare brass wire mesh throughout the house will allow the brass to age or “tarnish” as time passes. The Vawdrey House team delivered a living finish for a living material, bringing the outside in and transforming the property from good to great.
