Economical but elegant

Article Abstract:

The conversion of a small Edwardian semi-detached house in Mapperley, UK by architects Letts Wheeler Architecture and Design provides an example of what can be achieved on a low budget. Letts Wheeler and the client, a graphic designer, co-operated closely on the project, and the result is an unusual blend of old and new. In order to save money, minimal repairs were made to the original house, with investment being focused on a few key areas such as the sitting room and kitchen/dining room. The use of recycled materials where possible reflects a commitment to being environmentally friendly.
