Private house in Wiltshire by Jones Associates Architects



A sneaky pair of pictures here of the kitchen of a stunning private house in Wiltshire, designed by Jones Associates Architects. The house was designed by architect George Gilbert Scott Jr, one of a clutch of rectories designed by the son of Sir George (architect of the Midland Grand Hotel) and father of Giles (Bankside Power Station and Liverpool Anglican Cathedral).
The rear of the building has been comprehensively remodelled by Jones Associates, and features a huge kitchen, artist studio and light-filled dining area.
George Jr was a fascinating figure himself, an alcoholic who suffered from mental ill-health, who eventually died at the Midland Grand Hotel.
On another interesting note, the company who made and installed the kitchen also makes organ cases for churches and cathedrals around the world. 
I'll add some further images of the project to my website in the coming weeks.
