Step into a fantastical world of domestic delights where history meets the future. Find larger than life representations of the past, and secrets and surprises hidden in the nooks and crannies. How does this historic house make you feel? Are you transported back in time to a bygone era that seems both familiar and strange? Or does it provoke thoughts of our present-day realities, and questions about what our future might look like? Can a historic house bring together the past, present, and future to spark a reimagining of time, story, and place? Explore the evolution of an old house into a space full of possibility and curiosity!
