Bags of space and statement textures are the standout features here: part of a stunning conversion in the Berkshire countryside. Doors open onto the terrace, a woodburning stove offers winter comfort, while the dramatic and practical island helps organise a generous and flexible room, one designed to be seen and enjoyed on any occasion.

It’s the combination of materials that really sings. Alongside reused elements from the original barn, plus polished concrete worktops and patinated corrugated iron, we added an unexpected canvas of colour and contrast - through the stunning Lilac Milas marble splashback.
