Peeling back the layers of history, the restoration and refurbishment of No 14 is an architectural story book. Revealing the lives of those who have lived there through the years has resulted in an inspirational and engaging museum building. Carefully inserting contemporary necessities without resorting to the pastiche is both respectful and exciting. Skill, craft, innovative conservation, historical examination and complex decision making are all evident in upgrading for public use and exposing the tiers of change over the centuries. This is an exemplary project that is enabling the past to live anew and bringing the future to its doorstep.
