A finished living room: a timber-lined ceiling, walnut shelving and full-height glazing opening onto the garden.

Residential interiors since 2009

A bare shell,
finished room by room.

A grey shell becomes an arrival: lime-plaster walls, a fluted oak screen, and one low bench that sets the tone for everything after it.

  • Lime plaster
  • Fluted oak
  • Kota stone

02SpaceMid-century modern

Living Room

Walnut spines, a low bouclé sofa and a single tapered floor lamp. Seating drops, ceilings feel taller, conversation collects in the middle.

  • Walnut
  • Bouclé
  • Patinated brass

03FireLuxury contemporary

Kitchen & Dining

A single stone monolith, handleless fronts, and appliances that disappear. Every service line was drawn before the first tile was cut.

  • Book-matched marble
  • Matte lacquer
  • Antique brass

Primary Bedroom

Washed linen, a paper pendant and a headboard that reads as wall. Light is layered in three circuits so the room can be dimmed to a whisper.

  • Belgian linen
  • Ash veneer
  • Washi paper

05AirRustic & earthy

Terrace & Study

Reclaimed teak, terracotta underfoot and a desk set against the garden. The last room we finish, and the one clients live in most.

01/ 05 — Bare shell

The Approach

One drawing set. One site team. No handover gaps.

i.

Brief & measure

A two-hour walkthrough, a laser survey, and a written brief you sign off before anything is drawn.

ii.

Material board

Physical samples, not renders. You hold the stone and the linen before we order.

iii.

Build & joinery

Our own carpenters, our own foreman, weekly photo reports from site.

iv.

Styling & handover

Final styling, a snag list closed in writing, and a care guide for every surface.
