Description:
Lees Associates’ prime residential experience was harnessed in the design of a new 15,000 sqft residential development on a Surrey private estate. The house occupies a plot on the top of the hill on the site of an iron age fort, taking advantage of stunning views south across Surrey. As Architect and lead consultant Lees Associates successfully secured scheduled monument consent, planning consent and the consent of the managing residents’ association. Arranged around a grand elliptical central staircase, the house adopts a rational classically-inspired plan with Regency proportions and detailing. The top-lit stair is a pioneering post-tensioned solid stone structure, making it remarkably slender and providing an elegant focus to the heart of the house.

Description:
The complete refurbishment of a three storey (plus double basement) terraced house in Holland Park. The existing house, an in particular its previous redevelopment, presented many challenges, which were revealed only as each layer was peeled back. With intelligent design, a skilled contractor, a collaborative and committed design team and an adventurous client, the final result is a stunning, contemporary new family home with flexible spaces for children’s activities, family gatherings, and secluded, private adult retreat. The sumptuous master suite is afforded an entire floor plate, offering a walk-in wet room of marble with brass accents, a deep luxurious bath, bespoke floor-to-ceiling wardrobe joinery sinuously linked to the bedroom retreat which opens onto a private roof terrace. The existing full-height elliptical staircase was re-invented in the interest of child safety. The organic form has been enhanced with embracing walls which cleverly provide and conceal much needed service risers. It has recessed, French polished timber handrails and is crowned with a new oculus rooflight, flooding the stairwell and the top floor landing with natural daylight. New premium finishes, including rich timber floors, exquisite stonework and luxurious deep carpets, combine elegantly with bronze-framed Crittall screens that provide security and allow natural light to penetrate deep into the floorplate, including in basement spaces.

Description:
Lees Associates were appointed ahead of notable competition to design and oversee the complete refurbishment and fit-out of a Grade I listed home overlooking Regent’s Park. Originally designed by Decimus Burton as part of John Nash’s masterplan, the property had undergone substantial changes in the 1980s. Acting as architect, interior designer and lead consultant, Lees Associates’ prime-residential team sensitively restored what original features remained and returned Regency period details to the principal rooms of the house where these had been lost. A more contemporary feel was introduced to other areas, notably the bathrooms and a state-of-the-art swimming pool and spa. Throughout the design process Lees Associates used their experience to successfully negotiate the necessary planning and listed building consents with Westminster’s conservation officers, English Heritage and The Crown Estate’s surveyors.

Description:
Lees Associates restoration, refurbishment and extension of Dixton Manor, Gloucestershire, completed on schedule in June 2009. Our work saw the Grade II* listed Cotswolds manor house, which dates back to 1591 and replaced an earlier monastery on the site, transformed. The house had evolved markedly over the centuries, with significant additions in the 1800s and 1950s, the latter to the buildings great detriment. Lees Associates have added another chapter to the history of the house by rationalising the plan to better suit our clients needs and demolishing the unsightly twentieth century additions. A new extension to the south range provides a subservient family entrance that remains in keeping with the scale and grandeur of the house. The historic parts of the house have been delicately and sensitively restored in close collaboration with the local conservation department and English Heritage. A new glazed cloister links the older west range with the new extension on the south range, and looks over a new courtyard contained to the north by a relocated historic stone and brick wall. This is to be landscaped under a future phase of works, creating a glorious external entertaining space. Internally the living accommodation has been reorganised, with the master suite completely overhauled. A new master study sits proudly at the top of the new solid oak staircase that rises to the master suite. Sunlight floods the study through a great new skylight, concealed from external view by virtue of its roof valley location. The principal rooms have been decorated and furnished by the New York interior decorator Muriel Brandolini, who has left her unique mark on the property. In keeping with the practices strong belief in sustainability, Lees Associates are developing a scheme to make the Dixton estate entirely carbon neutral. A principal feature already installed is a biomass boiler that provides all of the estates heating and hot water and which can be fuelled by timber felled exclusively on the property.
