Making the most of every corner!

We found the perfect little nook for a home office, transforming an unused space into a stylish and practical place to work.

Proof that you don't need a whole room to create a beautiful place to work. With more people working from home these days, it's so important to have the right workspace.

Ok, it's officially time to start dreaming of that weekend lie-in...

This project really defined bringing the outside in.

We designed this beautiful contemporary extension to create a seamless connection between the house and garden, with expansive glazing, sleek architectural lines and natural materials that bring warmth and character to the space.

What makes this project particularly special to us is that it was once our own family home!

Having lived in the space ourselves, we had the wonderful opportunity to experience first-hand what worked, how the natural light changed throughout the day and how the extension transformed everyday family living.

There's something incredibly rewarding about not just designing a space, but actually living in it and seeing how those design decisions work in practice.

A home that really celebrates indoor-outdoor living. 🤍

Understated luxury at its finest 🤍

We created this master ensuite to be a beautiful balance of natural stone, warm neutral tones and clean architectural lines. From the striking marble vanity to the seamless walk-in shower and carefully considered details, every element creates a sense of calm and effortless elegance.

A timeless bathroom where simplicity meets sophistication.

Are you drawn to calming neutral tones, or do you prefer a bathroom full of colour and personality?

We'd love to know your style! 👇

This is our own family home, an Arts and Crafts house on Bluehouse Lane in Oxted, Surrey.

It has grown by increments for decades and lost its own logic along the way. Total redevelopment sounds bigger than it is. We are not knocking anything down and starting again, we are editing what is already good, removing what got added without thought, and giving the house one clear idea from front door to garden.

It is still at design stage, and we are sharing the thinking as it develops.

We found a 1930s house in poor condition, extended piecemeal over the years so that it no longer read as a single building. There was space, but no coherence.

What the family wanted was not simply more of it, but a house that finally held together, with a downstairs that worked properly and an interior that felt like theirs.

What emerged is generous, unified, open to its garden, and built around how a modern family actually wants to live.

Before & After

A transformation that has completely changed the character of this home.

The original rear elevation has been redesigned and extended to create a lighter, more contemporary family home, with generous glazing, improved proportions and a much stronger architectural identity.

The new extension creates valuable additional living space inside, while the glazing floods the interior with natural light and opens up views across the garden. Outside, the cleaner lines and considered material palette bring the old and new together, giving the entire rear of the property a fresh new look.

A great example of how thoughtful design can transform not just how a home looks, but how it feels and functions every day.

A glimpse through to a bedroom designed to feel calm, considered and completely connected.

We created this arched opening to soften the transition into the room, while the rich timber cabinetry, warm lighting and layered textures create a wonderfully cosy feel.

A little reminder that the spaces between rooms deserve just as much thought as the rooms themselves.

It might not feel particularly chilly just yet, but autumn has officially arrived.

And with the change of season, our thoughts are turning to cosy evenings at home - warm lighting, fires on, comfortable corners and spaces designed for slowing down.

Good design isn’t just about how a home looks, but how it feels to live in throughout the seasons. And autumn might just be our favourite.
