Dorset Manor House
This grand Georgian manor house showed very little of its 17th century origins. To the new owners, bringing the earlier house to the fore was important for the balance of this family home
The story of a building’s history is something architects and conservationists are keen to preserve. With a major renovation in Georgian times, the original manor house in this project had been demoted to the back of the building and had its character changed to fit the period; rewriting the story profoundly. Reopening the original front door and restoring that as the main entrance was the key step in restoring that order.
In terms of the character that had been removed from the original manor house, putting that back called for something that fit the ‘new’ stature of the building, but tied to a period of the original. Our brief was to design and make an appropriate period front door and, for the reinstated panelled hall behind, fine period oak panelling to give a restored sense of grandeur to the entrance of the building.

Jack Badger worked with specialist period architects and interior designers to produce our designs, each party contributing to the final design
The external doors in the oldest part of the building needed to be authentic vernacular c17 design but with some level of pomp to fit with the status of the building. We designed a pair of doors, the main entrance and the side door to the boot room, tied together in design by the heavily nailed construction, which would have been a show of wealth in the period.
For the panelled hall, the design was collaborative; taking in input from both design teams, as well as from our carvers, to ensure the panelling design took account of furniture placement, lighting and the coffered ceiling. The design for each elevation was supported with artistic drawings to help visualise molding details, proportions and panel layout etc. With the 3D technical drawings being used to precision make the panelling, as well as to support seamless integration with other contractors.

A building reconnected to its past with statement period architectural joinery
This project is a good example of how Jack Badger works well collaborating on design as part of a wider project team. Being able to lead on the design of the doors and drawing on our expertise of period joinery detail and construction, this approach resulted in designs that were beyond the clients’ and the architect’s expectations. The panelling design required us to work as part of a wider team and help turn their various design inputs into a cohesive panelling installation.
Ultimately, the changes we were involved in brining about achieved the objective of elevating the old part of this historic house, onto the same footing as its larger Georgian counterpart, whilst our other contributions, such as the flooring in the family and music rooms, helped to create the balanced home the clients hoped for.
