The refurbishment of architect John Wardle’s own home, Kew House, Victoria, remodels the house while preserving three ancient Scottish Elm trees. It updates the house both in terms of thermal efficiency and also spatially, to accommodate the inhabitants evolving use and to house an extensive art and ceramics collection. The works feature precision Victoria Ash joinery including an Ash lined study overlooking the gardens. Photo Sharyn Cairns. Wardle
