Tempting terrace

A terrace house retains its old-world charm at the front, while receiving a contemporary renovation out the back. “We wanted a living space that works with our lifestyle,” homeowner Annie Bowen says. The pergola is painted in Dulux “Domino”, the house exterior in Calf Skin and the woodwork in half-strength Antique White USA. Foxy chairs by Robert Plumb.
