We’re known for our quality finishes and love of detail and can provide a design concept for a single room, build a new country house from scratch or transform an existing house with a full, turnkey solution. Our transparent and open approach provides the highest standard of client care and we encourage you to collaborate closely with our design team. We will be with you on every step of the journey as we work through each pillar of our personalised interior design service.
Interior Architecture
With over two decades’ experience designing and building luxury houses we are able to manage interior architecture projects of the most ambitious kind. As well as kitchen and bathroom design, interior architecture encompasses the entire makeup and flow of your home and important aesthetic considerations such as lighting design and selection of the best quality finishes. Our mindful design journey enables us to create spacial layouts that optimise the function and practicality of all areas to meet the needs of your lifestyle.
“The idea of home has never felt more important. We want the places we live in to be the ultimate expression of who we are.”

Interior Design: Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment
Rather than following trends that might be ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ we seek to create an atmosphere that will stand the test of time and say something about your family’s authentic story. We’re passionate about tailormade design, so every detail will be meticulously thought through: from hand-selected soft furnishings, to high-specification fixtures and fittings such as custom designed cabinetry and bespoke furniture. If we can’t find the right hand-woven rug, we’ll have one made to order to suit your new design scheme.
“Every room in your house should ‘speak to you’: providing peace, offering inspiration and celebrating your authentic family story.”

Design Project Management
We manage the entire project, from our initial meeting to the day we hand over your exquisite interior. Good communication forms the foundation of trust and reliability, so a single member of our team will act as your day to day point of contact to provide a seamless service. You will benefit from our network of old-school artisans, master decorators, furniture makers (and other disappearing trades) who still work by hand. Nothing matches the luxury of a bespoke piece created by a global craftsman, with intricate details that can never be matched by a machine.

Procurement & Installation
While our craftsmen and project manager focus on bringing a design concept to life, procurement will continue behind the scenes. Having agreed exact specifications with our clients in advance, our team are able to source all required items and have them delivered and installed as a ‘white glove’ service on agreed dates. We hang pictures and mirrors (and attend to all the other little details) and carry out a deep clean as part of our turnkey service. As ever, communication is key to ensure that you feel part of a seamless journey. We stay in touch while you settle in to ensure everything runs smoothly.
“Nothing gives us more pleasure than handover day: when you and your family begin making new memories with scents set, lights dimmed and everything perfectly placed in your reimagined home.”
