London interior architecture firm Marta Nowicka - Co has recently aquired the old St Johns Ambulance HQ sited within the old Citadel of Rye, East Sussex, UK. Marta Nowicka has transformed this former redbrick, circa-1950s ambulance station into a family’s four-bedroom vacation home.

Located in a private residential courtyard this twin pitched building has undergone many changes over the last century. Having started life out as a groundskeepers house for the Grade II listed Whitefriars property it was knocked down and rebuilt in the 1950’s to create a large garage/ workshop for St Johns Ambulance whose HQ was then located at Whitefriars. They then downsized in the 70’s converting one side of the garage and its uppers into their offices.

位于一个私人的住宅庭院里，这座双角建筑在上世纪经历了许多变化。作为II级列出的Whitefriars房产，作为一个基础人员住宅开始生活。1950年代，它被拆毁并重建，为圣约翰斯救护车创建一个大型车库/车间，其总部位于Whitefriars。然后，他们在70年代将车库的一侧及其上部转换为办公室。

Marta Nowicka - Co seek to return it to its original residential use while maintaining its commercial history. In addition to the prevalent brick, the interiors of the elegantly swanky, renovated space also include oak floors and whitewashed walls. Simple metal shelving, a clean-lined stair with a rope balustrade, and other minimalist finishes and fixtures help round out the more luxe touches, like Carrara marble countertops in the kitchen and more.
