Where haS ThiS coMe froM?Weve always been keen to include property and interiors in Gallery and, after a lot of effort, our property and interiors section is now going really well but there was one problem. M0nthly just isnt often enough for some people. Places is going to bisect gallerys publication, designed to release mid month, each month.

By creating a structure that promotes both property agents and conveyancing and property focused brands, Places will offer ultra competitive rates and enable agents to get all their latest properties featured in places AND Gallery, offering bimonthly print promotion through two distribution networks.

Welcome to Places, Jerseys new property publication. if youre looking to buy, sell or rent then were hoping this will be the best place for you (get it?). each month Places will showcase the latest local properties for sale from all the islands leading estate agents. We figure that for you, the house hunter, what could be better than having them all in one publication?! at least thats the plan.

in addition well be building up information on the latest mortgage rates, best offers and deals on conveyancing and other property related activity. i know, theres been a credit crunch, were getting through it and all the more reason to give you all the right information, in the right way.

This edition is just the taster, a sample, a starter for ten. look out for a bigger, better edition next month.

ProPeTY Profile: a GranD DeSiGn

With panoramic sea views of Corbire, La Rosire and St Ouens Bay, The Old Station House has been transformed into a striking contemporary home. A curved glass extension has been added to the existing building allowing the Station House to be showcased whilst simultaneously creating a property with a sense of vastness.

In 2004, Frank and Susan Venton bought the property and in late 2006 Richard Herve, Director of EnSuite Developments, began work specialising in all the heating and plumbing. The design of the property was the responsibility of Eddie Caldeira (Design Plus Architects), although five other architects were also asked to submit sketches with only one being selected for its imaginative and design merit. Eddies design was contemporary and really outstanding Frank explained.

It took two years to gain planning permission and the original design of the extension was a curve of Corten Steel (pre-rusted steel). The concept of the steel curve derived from two things, firstly, the contract signing stone on the site of the property, which had a line of Iron Oxide running through it and secondly, the building itself was solid stone and had evidence of a lot of rust. However, the steel curve idea then became a glass curve because the glass plays up the original building and plays down the extension, said Eddie.

Obtaining the planning permission also involved Frank writing to Grand Designs to ask if they would like to feature the property in their programme. Grand Designs replied saying that they were happy to do so but subject to planning permission. Although this letter was sent to the Planning Department it was not considered as part of their decision at that time.

When work started on the house, we stripped the granite part of the building which was the Station House in the 1930s where you used to be able to buy a ticket to Paris, said Richard.

However, there was a complication with the extension as the team had difficulty in getting a manufacturer to produce the curved glass. It took six months to find UK Company Sola Glass and all the curved glass was produced in Austria. One meeting took three hours just to go through all the technical detail. Each sheet of glass panels weighs half a tonne and has been calculated to take a wind load of six tonnes. Supporting the glass is a steel

post and beam design (inner structure) with a spider bolt system connecting the glass. The reason for this was because the Planning Department did not want an outer frame. The glass is double-glazed and provides soundproofing from any other noise in the house and the coastal elements of outdoors.

All the rooms of the house have cream marble flooring. This is neutral and a blank canvas so you can add any colour. The hallway has black marble flooring with floor spot lights (LED) and because the Station House is quite narrow they decided to build the hallway externally. The whole house has underfloor heating which can be thermostatically controlled in every room.

On the ground floor, the back door used to be a little hatch where you would buy your tickets. The master room has a walk in dressing room and an ensuite ( jacuzzi, twin sinks and shower to be added), with doors leading out onto the large decking area. A cloakroom and utility room are outside the master room. The three double rooms each have a Villeroy & Boch ensuite and two of the rooms have bay windows. We put new windows in the old part of the building but the stone mason did such a good job that you cant tell its been altered. All the windows are aluminium framed and the guttering is also aluminium, they were made in a special colour to match the steel posts and beams.

To access the first floor there is a glass staircase with hand made solid walnut treads. Franks wife, Sue, did all the interior design and worked closely with the architects throughout the process and is mostly responsible for the look and finish of the internal and external elements. It was also Sues idea for the spine of the staircase to curve and thus fit better with the overall design, said Frank.

The extension has a zinc roof (pitched roof), spot lights in the ceiling and spectacular views of the coast and lighthouse which can also be enjoyed out on the balcony with its glass railing to enhance the view by not distracting it with an eye level hand rail. A functional fireplace separates the lounge from the dining and kitchen area which sits on top of the Old Station House, where a Bulthaup kitchen with stainless steel and walnut units will be fitted and a large viewing window has been added in the dining area.

Scott Le Breton managed the carpentry work, and all the doors in the house (apart from the grand front door) are walnut with polished chrome handles and were hand made for the property. The front door was custom made and is iroko wood; it weighs nearly half a tonne, is 4ft by 9ft and is on a pivot rather than hinges. As you approach the front door from outside there are solid granite steps sourced from La Saline and a concrete curved wall that acts as a windbreak when entering the house. Nothing we do is the norm. The concept was to achieve a grand entrance.

Around the outside of the curved glass is a small moat that is filled with pebbles. We wanted to achieve something really creative. Surrounding the house is a granite wall with a dry stone, linear look. There are iroko wood gates to the front and back of the house, white marble stones, an ample garden with Welsh slate stepping stones, and a white marble stone path to the front door. The decking area outside the master room has a seven person swim spa, and the decking is oiled balau wood and has slanted edges to avoid gaps. Large boulders separate the decking from the spacious parking area, which is enclosed with old oak railway sleepers. It is still possible to walk on the track at the side of the house where the platform used to be.
