Medium sized contemporary shower room bathroom in Nantes with an alcove shower and beige walls.

Set within the Carlton Square Conservation Area in East London, this two-storey end of terrace period property suffered from a lack of natural light, low ceiling heights and a disconnection to the garden at the rear. The clients preference for an industrial aesthetic along with an assortment of antique fixtures and fittings acquired over many years were an integral factor whilst forming the brief. Steel windows and polished concrete feature heavily, allowing the enlarged living area to be visually connected to the garden with internal floor finishes continuing externally. Floor to ceiling glazing combined with large skylights help define areas for cooking, eating and reading whilst maintaining a flexible open plan space. This simple yet detailed project located within a prominent Conservation Area required a considered design approach, with a reduced palette of materials carefully selected in response to the existing building and it’s context.

A tired, overgrown garden has been transformed into a stunning contemporary space with a generous patio outside the house, and a cedar deck in the top corner of the garden where my clients can relax and enjoy the sunshine. The main patio has been lowered to the same level as the internal floor space, enabling us to create some level changes in what was previously a flat garden. Raised beds help to break up the space, and add additional interest and structure. Cedar seating and a matching table and storage unit have been built on the main patio to form a stylish seating area. The planting has been designed to be bright and colourful, matching the internal colour scheme of the house, and providing interest and structure throughout the year. The existing shed has been renovated and painted, and set behind a rendered wall which helps to hide the utility area at the back of the garden. Richard Brown Photography Ltd

Within this garden we wanted to create a space which was not only on numerous levels, but also had various points of interest. This garden is on a slope, but is also very wide. Firstly, we broke up the space by using rustic sleepers to create several raised beds,as well as steps which lead to differennt zones. This helps to give the garden a more traditional, country edge. The sleepers were also used to create a winding path through out the garden, marrying together the various areas. The path leads up to the impressive sunburst pergola and circular stone patio. This is the perfect spot to view the whole garden. At the other end of the garden another pergola sits amougnst a bustling flower bed, and will be used to train vining flowers. Along the back wall of the garden a raised bed is home to a stunning display of wildflower. This plot is not only a fabulous riot of colour and full of rustic charm, but it also attracts a whole host of insects and animals. While wildflowers looks great they are also very low maintenance. Mixed gravel has been used to create a variety of texture. This surface is intermittently dotted with colour with lemon thyme, red hot pokers and foxgloves. Stone has been used to create a warm and welcoming patio area. Flower beds at the front of the garden can be used for veg and other leafy plants. Overall we have created a country style with a very contemporary twist through the use of gravel, modern shape and structural landscaping.

Ph. Matteo Imbriani Ristrutturazione di un appartamento a Milano, in zona Isola, destinato ad accogliere una coppia e la loro bimba appena arrivata. I committenti, appassionati di cucina, amano ricercare ingredienti di prima qualità e offrirli ai loro ospiti durante cene accompagnate da vini selezionati. Questa dedizione all'ospitalità ha fatto sì che l'area pranzo, in continuità con la cucina, diventasse il punto focale dell'abitazione e dell'intero progetto. Siamo stati incaricati di disegnare una cucina su misura, dalla forte personalità, con elettrodomestici all'avanguardia ma linee e colori che reinterpretassero lo stile anni '60. Anche il grande tavolo da pranzo era una delle priorità. Il progetto esecutivo della cucina è stato curato da D&D Service. La zona giorno è completata da un'area living con divano e poltrona Maralunga di Cassina originale degli anni 70, come le sedie Cesca che circondano il tavolo. Per la pavimentazione di tutto l'appartamento, ad eccezione del bagno, è stato scelto un parquet in rovere chiaro. Una parete vetrata con telaio in alluminio verniciato nero divide la zona giorno dalla zona notte ma al tempo stesso da continuità allo spazio e assicura un collegamento, anche visivo, con l'area dedicata alla cameretta. Quest'ultima è separata dall'ingresso grazie a un armadiatura a doppio affaccio progettata e realizzata su misura per permettere di sfruttare al meglio tutti i vani contenitori. Ora alcuni si aprono verso l'interno della cameretta e altri verso l'esterno ma in futuro potranno essere riconfigurati a seconda delle esigenze. L'armadio crea un corridoio che porta alla camera da letto padronale. L'illuminazione del corridoio è assicurata da due applique Foglio di Flos e da un pannello luminoso integrato nell'armadio che si accende e si regola in intensità sfiorandone la superficie. La stanza da bagno di dimensioni ridotte si sviluppa in profondità. Per sfruttare al meglio lo spazio, la doccia è stata collocata sulla parete di fondo con finestra, in corrispondenza di un restringimento della stanza reso necessario dalla posizione di una delle due finestre che si aprono sul living attiguo. Per dare carattere allo spazio è stato scelto un color antracite per il soffitto, in forte contrasto con il gres porcellanato bianco che riveste pareti e pavimento. Questo, unito ai decori della doccia ad alcova, crea un ambiente elegante e intimo al tempo stesso. La controparete, creata per ragioni tecniche nella parte alta del lato destro, è stata sfruttata per inserire le luci led a sfioro che valorizzano la texture del rivestimento ceramico (collezione Pennelli di 14oraitaliana).
