Renovations Part II

Hey everyone!

Everyone has been asking me to follow up with some of the #teambaron renovations as we’re approaching the day (tomorrow, it’s gonna be Monday 16th) when we start the work on the Team Baron offices! So the rest of the fabulous estate needs to be covered and I thought I’d give you some tea of all the different architecture and features that have fascinated me.

So this project has been ongoing for some time now, and the Baron has really been the force behind it so don’t get it twisted, he is the genius that takes the credit. But for me, I’m very interested in the building because essentially the area is set out like a mixture of chateaux style buildings and farms, so part of this estate has some of that history. The buildings are all particularly varied and the architectural differences between houses of the same period in the UK are obvious, but there is some similarity to me in the type of beams and curves in the shapes of the buildings.

Externally there are two wells on the land, one that was used for villages I guess to access water for the farmyard creatures, and maybe at one time for people to drink from? They didn’t have any reference to where one of them actually was located until the grounds person took down some of the foliage and discovered it’s location, as well as a slightly spooky outbuilding. There’s been loads of strange features that have peaked my interests, there’s like a pigeon coop space above the outbuildings and they have things in them? How? That is a question in itself.

There’s also a fabulous external bread oven that is being planned to be fully restored and functional. I think it looks a bit too much for a repair, but there we have it. Internally, there’s been massive work done to the walls to even out and restore the finish, I’ve been privy to all the behind the scenes of this and again, shout out to dis Baron for all the work because the number of times he’s been there taking down things, doing himself an injury with the mad dog running around and causing mischief, it’s been a massive ordeal haha.

Here’s the Les Menuiseries colour scheme for the internal details as fit the listed restrictions of the area! Can’t wait
