“Milne’s meticulous eye for detail elevated this master suite to a finely-tuned alchemy of balanced design. It shows that you can use dark and dramatic pieces from our carbon fibre collection and still achieve the restful bathroom sanctuary that is at the top of clients’ wish lists.” Miles Hartwell, Co-founder, Splinter Works Ltd When collaborations work they are greater than the sum of their parts, and this was certainly the case in this project. I was able to respond to Splinter Works’ designs by weaving in natural materials, that perhaps weren’t the obvious choice, but they ground the high-tech materials and soften the look. It was important to achieve a dialog between the bedroom and bathroom areas, so the graphic black curved lines of the bathroom fittings were countered by soft pink calamine and brushed gold accents. We introduced subtle repetitions of form through the circular black mirrors, and the black tub filler. For the first time Splinter Works created a special finish for the Hammock bath and basins, a lacquered matte black surface. The suffused light that reflects off the unpolished surface lends to the serene air of warmth and tranquility. Walking through to the master bedroom, bespoke Splinter Works doors slide open with bespoke handles that were etched to echo the shapes in the striking marbleised wallpaper above the bed. In the bedroom, specially commissioned furniture makes the best use of space with recessed cabinets around the bed and a wardrobe that banks the wall to provide as much storage as possible. For the woodwork, a light oak was chosen with a wash of pink calamine, with bespoke sculptural handles hand-made in brass. The myriad considered details culminate in a delicate and restful space.

Two sets of minimal windows sliding doors were installed to the rear extension of this beautiful cottage in Buckinghamshire. This allowed light to pass through the internal space filling it with light and colour. To bring more light into the property, slim and frameless clerestory windows were installed above the all the ground floor glazing.

Wir gingen von der Entfernung aller Wände aus, soweit das möglich war. Ein Unterzug in Form eines Stahlträgers übernahm die tragende Funktion anstelle der Mittelwand. Die notwendige Auflagefläche für den Träger neben der Tür war der Auslöser für die Ausbildung einer Nische. In ihr verschwindet der technisch wirkende Edelstahl-Kühlschrank weitgehend. Die Position der Küchenzeile war durch die Anschlüsse vorgegeben, sie bildet jetzt mit einem Kochblock sowie dem anschließenden Esstisch den kommunikativen Mittelpunkt. Die direkte Verbindung zur Terrasse ist durch ein großes Schiebetür-Element gegeben. Auch von der Küche aus führt eine Tür nach draußen.
