The front reception room of this grade II listed building was retained with special arched joinery pieces added to help create a sense of depth to the space.

This living room, part of the New England & Cape Cod–inspired home by Studio212 Ltd, blends calm comfort with carefully detailed design. At the centre, a bespoke media wall with integrated fireplace and floating cabinetry is framed by illuminated shelving, providing both display and storage. The shelving composition is styled with layered artwork, ceramics, and greenery to create a curated yet relaxed atmosphere. Above, a Lira Lighting circular pendant anchors the space and highlights the architectural ceiling recess. The layout is grounded by sofas from Camerich, paired with a nested marble-and-glass coffee table that adds sculptural elegance. A soft New King carpet completes the scheme, adding warmth and texture underfoot. The result is a family living space that feels sophisticated, comfortable, and deeply connected to its architectural setting.

The lounge has been designed as a calming yet sophisticated, family-friendly space, equally suited to entertaining guests or relaxing together for a quiet evening with a board game. We have retained and restored original details, including the coffered ceiling and lincrusta door panels, while installing triple-glazed sash windows and insulation to improve energy performance. This space forms part of a wider retrofit of a beautiful Edwardian home in Bushey. We have worked closely with the client and their architect to balance energy efficiency with the preservation of the property’s character, while reflecting the family’s interior style.

To brighten and warm the room, the ceiling between the lower ground floor and the ground floor was removed, allowing the south-facing light to flow through the front of the house. A sculptural staircase was added to connect the living room and the hallway.

Questo progetto nasce dall’idea di reinterpretare l’eleganza classica degli appartamenti parigini in una chiave contemporanea, creando uno spazio raffinato dove architettura storica e design moderno dialogano in perfetto equilibrio. L’appartamento, situato nel cuore di Parigi in Avenue Montaigne, è caratterizzato da soffitti alti, cornici decorative e pannellature classiche che valorizzano il carattere architettonico dell’abitazione. Le boiserie su misura disegnano le pareti con un ritmo elegante, mentre il parquet in rovere scuro a spina francese aggiunge profondità e calore agli ambienti. Il soggiorno è stato progettato come uno spazio di rappresentanza sofisticato e accogliente, dove arredi contemporanei dalle linee pulite dialogano con l’architettura classica. Le tonalità neutre, tra crema, nero e accenti in ottone, creano una palette elegante e senza tempo. La cucina è pensata come il cuore della casa: un ambiente luminoso e scenografico con mobili classici laccati, dettagli in metallo e ampie superfici in marmo. L’isola centrale diventa il punto focale dello spazio, progettata per momenti conviviali e per la vita quotidiana. L’illuminazione architetturale gioca un ruolo fondamentale nel progetto, valorizzando i volumi degli ambienti e creando un’atmosfera calda e sofisticata. Il risultato è un appartamento di lusso che unisce il fascino dell’architettura europea classica con il linguaggio contemporaneo dell’interior design, dando vita a uno spazio elegante, armonioso e senza tempo.

The brief for this project was to create a multifunctional space that included a kitchen, dining and living area. The property did not benefit from a large garden so it was important that the depth of the extension did not significantly compromise the outdoor space. We therefore extended the kitchen into the rear reception room, which created a much larger open planned area and allowed for the installation of a small WC. Open planning the kitchen to the rear reception room also provided this area with some much need natural light via the skylights and doors in the new extension. The fact the extension was not excessively deep enabled us to obtain planning permission for a good external wall height, which is complimented internally by the vaulted ceiling. The back of the extension has been finished with a large set of slim profile sliding doors, providing uninterrupted views of the beautifully designed garden. The final result is a light and airy space which accommodates the kitchen, living and dining areas that the client required.

Over the course of a year, we were entrusted with renovating an existing property for a client, transforming it into their ideal family home. This included adding an extension and developing the basement to create a luxurious leisure suite. The Edwardian property retained many of its original features, which we carefully preserved and integrated throughout the rest of the home.
