cardiff 2008

This Cardiff avant-garde 1930's dwelling, rejects the universal solution of modernism with an eclectic mix of architectural references.

Internally its exuberant detailing leans towards 'art nouveau'. Externally it aspires to the 'international style' with spiral curved glass windows and controlled bronze detailing.

As a collection of styles and a 'much loved home', it exudes a conscious sense of care expressed through its proportions.

Hyde + Hyde have been appointed to carefully restore elements of the existing architecture and create a contemporary addition, Providing additional living and sleeping space complete with a uniquely formed dance room.
