This is an elegant living room with a blend of mid-century and contemporary design elements. The walls are painted in a deep blue hue, creating a cozy and sophisticated ambiance, complemented by white plantation shutters that allow natural light to filter through. Built-in bookshelves on either side of the fireplace provide symmetry and functionality, showcasing a curated collection of books. A green velvet sofa and a classic armchair with layered textiles add warmth and texture, while a vintage oriental rug anchors the space. The parquet wooden flooring enhances the room’s timeless charm, and the central modern chandelier adds a bold and artistic touch. Accessories, such as the chest with a potted plant and the sideboard with a reflective surface, complete the look with understated elegance.

A coastal Scandinavian renovation project, combining a Victorian seaside cottage with Scandi design. We wanted to create a modern, open-plan living space but at the same time, preserve the traditional elements of the house that gave it it's character.

Our clients wanted to update their lounge and add more storage, display areas for her collection of ceramics and large collection of books. The clients were great fans of Bauhaus and we took this as inspiration for our design. We designed bespoke joinery to enhance her treasured items whilst giving her much for space for the addition of new pieces. We created a new colour palette which would compliment not only the art but also the roomhad large windows overlooking rural countryside brining the outside in. We also added texture with concrete paint on selected walls for more depth.

Located in the small, unspoilt cove at Crackington Haven, Grey Roofs replaced a structurally unsound 1920s bungalow which was visually detrimental to the village and surrounding AONB. Set on the side of a steep valley, the new five bedroom dwelling fits discreetly into its coastal context and provides a modern home with high levels of energy efficiency. The design concept is of a simple, heavy stone plinth built into the hillside for the partially underground lower storey, with the upper storey comprising of a lightweight timber frame. Large areas of floor to ceiling glazing give dramatic views westwards along the valley to the cove and the sea beyond. The basic form is traditional, with a pitched roof and natural materials such as slate, timber, render and stone, but interpreted and detailed in a contemporary manner. Solar thermal panels and air source heat pumps optimise sustainable energy solutions for the property. Removal of ad hoc ancillary sheds and the construction of a replacement garage completed the project.

This living room showcases a harmonious balance between functionality and style, with a focus on rich colors and curated details. The built-in bookshelves, painted in a deep blue, frame the fireplace and extend into a connected space, providing ample storage and a cohesive design element. A modern green velvet armchair sits at the forefront, adding a vibrant contrast to the cool tones of the walls. The parquet flooring introduces warmth and texture, beautifully complemented by an intricately patterned rug. The seating arrangement includes a navy corner sofa in the adjoining area, paired with sleek, minimalist nesting tables. Overhead, a statement chandelier with spherical elements adds a touch of contemporary elegance. Decorative accents, such as the abstract artwork above the fireplace and carefully selected accessories, enhance the room’s refined yet inviting atmosphere.
