Ben Thompson
Director of Ilse Crawford's StudioIlse Architect Ben
Thompson initially worked at an unassuming firm that specialized in the
renovation of old country homes. "I was
fascinated by the importance of a sensitive design in addition to the
architecture layer,' he says.
The appreciation for period homes will be evident from
his largest project to this point, Heckfield Place in Hampshire. The gut reaction was to upgrade to five star
according to Thompson from the hotel's country home. "We
wanted to offer the same level of service, and being able to provide less , and
to give guests that is unique and has a more intimate feeling. Also, we
wanted to be a part of the surroundings.'
The biggest reward the company has received, he claims,
was bringing together like-minded people and craftspeople to bring his vision
to reality. bwtlondon.com
