The Brief This project aimed to redefine the home’s functionality and atmosphere by moving away from uniform room proportions, creating a more dynamic spatial experience. The primary objectives were to maximise natural light in key areas, particularly the central staircase and kitchen, and to optimise room sizes while maintaining a cohesive flow. A crucial aspect of the brief involved navigating planning constraints to extend the kitchen space, ensuring it became more practical and inviting for family life. The Design To address the limited daylight, a full-length glass roof was installed over the expanded kitchen, flooding the space with natural light and transforming it into the heart of the home. For the central staircase, a large roof light was introduced, paired with a glass staircase, allowing sunlight to cascade down to the ground floor. The design embraced a raw yet inviting aesthetic by exposing construction details such as bricks, joists, and floorboards, adding texture and warmth to the interiors. This was further complemented by oversized, curvaceous furniture, which softened the industrial elements and enhanced the home’s inviting feel. An unexpected architectural highlight is the double-height void between the first and top floors, which adds visual drama and enhances the sense of openness. These carefully considered interventions transformed the house into a vibrant, light-filled space that meets the family’s needs while elevating its architectural character.

An amazing beachfront apartment was completely transformed into a Hampton's style haven. The living room features Indigo sofa's with contrast white piping, rattan ottomans, the softest Hemp rug and stunning beaded Coral Artworks.

This cozy and elegant living space combines soft, romantic tones with vibrant personality. A pastel pink sofa adorned with floral and velvet throw pillows sets a gentle, inviting tone. The floral-themed wallpaper and paired wall art create a personalized and sentimental atmosphere, reinforcing a feeling of warmth and intimacy. A richly patterned Persian-style rug grounds the room with depth and cultural character, while two circular wooden coffee tables add functional layering and visual softness. Accessories like candles, books, and decorative trays enhance the space with curated charm. To the side, a tall potted plant introduces a touch of natural freshness, balancing the softness of the interiors with a vertical green accent. The nearby dining area features mint green upholstered chairs and a round wooden table, ideal for casual meals or small gatherings. Open shelving and a styled ladder add a creative and lived-in touch, offering room for books, art, or plants. The overall composition achieves a delicate balance between femininity, comfort, and expressive design—making it a perfect space for both relaxing and entertaining.

The living room has a new floor rug which helps to define this space and is soft underfoot. TV unit, and matching coffee table, easy chair, art work and plant in a wicker basket all add to the holiday feel in this unit.

créer un dialogue entre intériorité et habitat. Ici le choix des couleurs est en lien avec l'histoire du lieu: une colline couverte de vignes qui aurait servi de cadre aux Rêveries d’un promeneur solitaire de Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Je mets toujours un point d’honneur à m’inscrire dans l’histoire du lieu en travaillant avec des matériaux authentiques, quelles que soient la nature et la taille du projet, privilégiant ainsi la convivialité et l’esthétisme.

La inspiración para elegir el estilo que le íbamos a dar al apartamento fue la conexión tan directa con la terraza y toda la luz natural que lo inunda. Apostamos por colores neutros, de inspiración natural, tierras, arenas, maderas y lo contrastamos con algún toque en negro para roper la monotonía de la gama. Le dimos especial importancia a las paredes y los elementos decorativos como las láminas del sofá o los lienzos del dormitorio. Pocos elementos pero bien escogidos y que combinaran entre ellos era la clave para acertar.
