Philip and Judi's oak-framed home is a perfect blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern interior design. The double-height entrance hall, framed with honey oak beams, features a sleek walnut staircase with glass balustrades, setting a luxurious tone upon arrival. The heart of the home, an open-plan Shaker-style kitchen and dining room, offers a warm, cosy atmosphere with exposed oak ceiling joists, large islands with induction hobs, double ovens, and a spacious fridge freezer, ideal for family living.
The mezzanine landing provides panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and leads to five en-suite bedrooms, each with vaulted ceilings, creating a bright and airy feel. The master en-suite boasts a stunning gable window, framing the exact view Philip fell in love with, while the bold statement bathrooms throughout the house add a sense of modern luxury.
A hidden entrance leads to Philip’s contemporary man cave, a contrasting retreat that looks out over the serene lake and stables. With three walls of floor-to-ceiling glazing, the garden room offers a tranquil space to relax while keeping an eye on the horses in the fields below.
The living room features oak floor joists, adding warmth and character, while the impressive fireplace, built using the door jams from the original longhouse, serves as a striking centrepiece. French doors open out to the fields, making it the perfect space to unwind in the evenings.
The home’s design harmonises perfectly with the natural landscape. The eastern elevation captures the sun, while panoramic honey oak apex windows allow light to flood into the cosy bedrooms, creating a luxurious hotel-like ambiance with a countryside twist. The bespoke chandelier, commissioned specifically for the double-height entrance hall, adds a touch of grandeur and is perfectly framed by the surrounding oak and glass.
Every detail has been meticulously considered, from the lighting choices and colour schemes to the hidden man cave and feature walls, creating a home that is both practical and aesthetically stunning. The home’s natural honey-coloured stone exterior blends seamlessly with the landscape, giving the appearance of a property that has stood in its location for centuries.
This oak-framed masterpiece combines modern luxury with timeless charm, making it the perfect countryside retreat.

Nested in the beautiful Cotswolds, this converted barn was in need of a redesign and modernisation to maintain its country style yet bring a contemporary twist. We specified a new mezzanine, complete with a glass and steel balustrade. We kept the decor traditional with a neutral scheme to complement the sand colour of the stones.

Un elegante soggiorno moderno con un ampia finestra offre una vista spettacolare su lago di Como e sulle montagne. Lo spazio, arredato con tonalità neutre di bianco e grigio, è diviso in una zona salotto con divano curvo e poltrona con poggiapiedi e una zona pranzo con tavolo rotondo sormontato da una lampada dal design contemporaneo . Il soffitto con travi a vista in legno chiaro e un parquet in rovere con quadrotte decorate aggiungono un tocco di calore e tradizione all'ambiente moderno. Il grande camino con panca, interamente rivestito da marmo Camouflage è il grande protagonista di questo spazio.

Le projet
Cette maison cloisonnée par d'épais murs porteurs était très difficilement aménageable de par la proportion des pièces et leur coté immuable.
Gaëlle et son mari ne se sentaient plus à leur aise dans la pièce qui faisait office d'entrée et de salle à manger au milieu des manteaux et des chaussures dispersées dans la pièce.
Quant au salon, il était rempli de divers petits mobiliers disparates et la circulation n'était pas fluide.
Ces pièces remplies d'histoires avec leurs murs tordus, leurs poutres, leurs cheminées, leurs pierres (...) avaient besoin d'être sublimées. Il a fallu faire un gros travail d'optimisation des espaces et d'aménagement de meubles sur mesure afin de mettre en lumière cette magnifique maison tout en respectant l'héritage du lieu dans une atmosphère délicate et végétale.

A pair of converted barns in the Dartmoor National Park. Existing granite walls and timber structures have been retained. New insulated walls with timber cladding, and insulated corrugated metal roofs have been constructed. The granite and original oak timbers were the stars of the show, with the new architectural additions high-lighting and complimenting them through contemporary contrasts.
