Take the enchanting project on Downshire Hill by the brilliant minds at McLaren.Excell, a London-based architectural and interiors practice. Co-founder Luke McLaren shares the inside scoop: "The building's dual nature – part listed, part 20th century – presented us with an exciting challenge. While being mindful and respectful externally due to the listed status, we had free rein inside. Stripping away layers of wallpaper and paint revealed the original lime plastered walls, showcasing a natural texture that stole our hearts. Our decision? Unapologetically celebrate the timeless beauty of this traditional material."
To preserve and elevate the space, a limewash coating was the secret weapon, sealing surfaces and harmonizing the color palette throughout the house. "By letting the lime plaster tell the story of the building's origins, we seamlessly wove it into the broader design narrative. Our approach? A perfect blend of tradition and contemporary aesthetics, maintaining the integrity of the space," Luke adds with pride. Timeless beauty meets modern chic – limewash takes center stage in the ageless allure of Downshire Hill.
