HISTORICAL RESEARCH – TORRINGTON HOUSE, CRYSTAL PALACE
The client carried out extensive research on the life of his grandparents who had been the coach man and a maid in the house of a retired civil servant. The house had been replaced by social housing in the 80s so I was asked to reproduce what the building would have looked like in its day. With only an old Ordnance Survey map and sales particulars found in 19th Century newspapers, I created floor plans showing the house, and coach house layout and the gardens.
