Project Description
Fox Lane Ends is a comprehensive residential renovation and remodelling project in Wrea Green, Lancashire, designed by Chartered Architect Joel Firth.
The project involved the transformation of an existing family home through architectural redesign, the reorganisation of internal accommodation and a coordinated approach to interior design.
The architectural concept focused on unlocking the potential of the original property, improving circulation, spatial relationships and the quality of the internal living environment to create a more cohesive contemporary family home.
The commission brought together architecture and interior design, with careful consideration given to the relationship between rooms, natural light, materials, finishes and architectural detailing.
Joel Firth’s involvement extended from the initial design and planning stages through to construction, maintaining continuity between the original architectural concept and its implementation.

Interior Design
