BEHIND THE SCENES
Photography- Nick George & Isabelle Young
The entrance to the house is crowned with a cast bronze ‘ouroboros’ knocker. The symbol, a serpent eating its tail, originates from Ancient Egypt where it represented the cycle of life, death, rebirth and renewal. Dense with meaning across Eastern and Western cultures past and present it was both a universal symbol and a deeply personal one to the homeowners as they begin their new life as a family in their new home.
