We used bespoke cabinetry to create extensive storage throughout the property – ranging from a much-needed boot room to carefully considered storage in the elegant lounge.

The dramatic glazing allowed us to unite the interior with the beautifully landscaped gardens. We created extra opportunities to enjoy this view – such as the placement of the master bathtub - so the owners can appreciate the full extent of their home.

The client’s love of colour gave us licence to inject bold pops throughout, some of which were in the most unexpected of places, adding a fun element to the everyday.
