Carlton Terrace – A Stunning Historic Transformation in Newcastle

Design in detail

At Acre Design, we specialise in helping clients achieve their dream homes, even when faced with the unique challenges of renovating historic properties. Carlton Terrace, located in the heart of Newcastle, is a prime example of how careful planning, collaboration, and attention to detail can breathe new life into a beautiful yet dated building.

The Client’s Vision

Our clients approached us with a clear goal: to transform their historic property into a home that preserved its character while incorporating modern functionality and style. They wanted a space that celebrated the building’s heritage but adapted to the needs of contemporary living.
We began the journey by exploring the full potential of the property, presenting detailed options that ranged from floor plan layouts to aesthetic considerations. Every aspect of the design was tailored to reflect the client’s aspirations while respecting the building’s listed status.

Our Process

Expertise in Planning & Listed Building Consent

Working with listed buildings means navigating a complex web of regulations. From obtaining listed building consent to crafting fire escape strategies, every decision required precision and sensitivity. Our extensive experience with historic properties ensured the process was smooth, and the outcome met both regulatory requirements and the client’s expectations.

Seamless Collaboration with Contractors

The success of Carlton Terrace wouldn’t have been possible without the skilled craftsmanship of Mount Fair Homes. By carefully selecting the right contractor, we guaranteed the exceptional quality this project demanded. Regular site visits, combined with thorough checks by our Quantity Surveyor, ensured the construction met our high standards while staying on schedule and within budget.

Hands-On Project Management

We believe great results come from continuous involvement. Throughout the project, we managed every detail, from coordinating with suppliers to overseeing the finishing touches. Our role extended beyond design and approvals—we ensured seamless communication between all stakeholders to deliver a truly extraordinary outcome.

The Transformation

Today, Carlton Terrace stands as a beacon of architectural elegance in Newcastle. The completed home perfectly balances the historic charm of its past with the sleek sophistication of modern design. Spacious, functional, and filled with character, the home is a true reflection of the client’s vision.
You can’t always buy a property that meets every need perfectly—sometimes, it takes a creative transformation to unlock its true potential. Carlton Terrace is a testament to what’s possible when expertise and passion come together.
