We bring Smart technology to traditionally styled properties, discreetly bringing homes and heritage buildings into the 21st century. Intelligence hidden within the beautiful styles of any era, from Tudor through Regency, Edwardian to mid-century, we discreetly bring buildings up to date. Loxone is our preferred Smart technology core, and our team has partnered with Loxone since 2012.
Partners in Realising Your Vision
From your first thoughts, each aspect is discussed and developed as as a series of concepts, ensuring we have a clear understanding of your brief before we delve into detailed design.
At every stage, we share our expertise to help you realise your dreams. We are not designers seeking to expand our portfolio of Instagram pictures (at your expense), we are partners in realising your vision.
A 1796 home is an expression of who you are, not of who we are.
We See the Big Picture and
Focus on the Little Details
Every material we use is carefully selected, enabling us to create the perfect environment for you and the way you live. Whether you are a fan of crisp, modern, wipe-clean surfaces or traditional, open-pore wood, your vision is paramount.
Kitchens
"The Heart of your Home", kitchens have become a focus of design over the past few decades, no longer just a space of work but a statement area in which to impress, excite, and entertain guests and family. A good-looking kitchen is now relatively easy to create, but a truly wonderful kitchen - a 1796 kitchen - requires balancing architecture, function, and design, with each element tuned to how you want to live.
We don't build kitchens ourselves, preferring to work with the UK's leading kitchen manufacturers, specialising in bespoke, to ensure you have the kitchen of your dreams.
Bathrooms
The modern sanctuary, bathrooms have come a long way since the avocado and aubergine suites of the 1970s - if you still have one, we'd love a picture!
A 1796 bathroom can be anything from a Victorian classic to an avant-guard work of art. An art deco statement, or a retro 1950s hide-away; whatever your idea of peace, we will create it for you.
Pools and Spas
It's great to come home and relax in a warm bath. Coming home and relaxing in your own private spa takes relaxation to another level!
Whether it is a hot tub in a gazebo or an underground cavern that a 5 star hotel would be jealous of, 1796 can help you achieve your vision.
We work alongside some of the UK's leading pool and spa companies to ensure that this highly-specialised construction is your perfect escape.
Landscape and Gardens
From a small back yard, to acres of formal gardens, whatever space you have should balance the time you want to spend relaxing with the time you have for maintenance. If you love spending hours tending the flowerbeds, or simply like to sip a G&T on the terrace, we will help you create your garden paradise.
Smart Buildings and Networks
Our team has partnered with Loxone since their arrival in the UK in 2012. Loxone stands out for simplicity, flexibility, quality, and value and we believe it to be by far the best control system on the market.
Building management extends to much more than just control of lighting and heating, and we integrate with leading security, CCTV, and network management systems to deliver seamless and secure building management.
Our Services
We only take on a small number of new design and project management
clients each year, ensuring that our services are provided with all
the attention necessary to realise our clients' visions.
