During the restoration of Pitzhanger Manor, Hare & Humphreys worked with Jestico + Whiles, Julian Harrap Architects and Quinn London to recreate the original schemes of Sir John Soane that were overpainted in the 1830’s. This involved us at the start of the project taking paint samples from every surface of the manor to analyse and generate a report that could be used by all the stakeholders involved.
A number the of the finishes we recreated to match the original included hand painted Chinese wall paper to the drawing room, redecorating multicolored decorative ceilings and apply faux stone, marble and gaining effects throughout the project.
