After a recent extension, our client needed to solve the issue of how to get outside into the garden while avoiding the big drop some living room to garden! We came up with this great solution which also provides a further extension of the home and one where they can enjoy alfresco dining for years to come.

The client wanted the room to be bold and simple at the same time. So, we gave him a blend of hollywood and scandinavian style. The full makeover was done us. Client appreciated the work as it was exactly what he wanted. He appreciated that we could understand his needs very well.

The large garden in front of the local Arts and Crafts villa was overwhelmed by driveway function. However, it was crucial to maintain the functionality of the driveway by allowing for at least five cars while adding visual interest, plant beds, and architectural elements. We also needed to make the area neighbouring the house's entrance more representational. The client asked for new fencing and gates between the front and back garden. Discover how we enhanced this canvas to create a stunning design: Our design was inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, which informed all our sculptural elements. We reduced the size of the driveway without compromising usability. Representational plant beds were added next to the entrance. A large plant bed along the back of the driveway was installed. A new hardwood fence and gate were built. New outdoor lighting was applied throughout the garden.

Copper is slowly creeping its way into colour palettes throughout the home; and kitchen design is no different. A copper, grey and blue colour palette was chosen for this new kitchen design. The Oxford blue and copper create a complementary combo that’s vibrant and rich. Working with the client, we created a design that contrasts the Mackintosh Sculptured doors painted in Oxford Blue and White Mackintosh Sculptured doors. The Worktops are a soft grey to complement the blue units and are an exquisite CRL Verona quartz with a rich OGEE Edging which gives the worktop a really luxurious touch. The client wanted a smart traditional style kitchen that was built for entertaining. So the tall units include a chefs pantry, a wine glass/ wine prep unit and in column Caple wine cooler serves the needs of guests at the dining table. All the appliances are Neff and include two slide and hide pyrolytic ovens, a Flex induction hob, built-in microwave & grill, and an American fridge freezer. The units also house an integrated dishwasher and a built under fridge in the “u” part of the kitchen allows ingredients to be easily accessible by the cook. To make efficient use of the space we custom made the plate rack and extractor canopy. Adding a few copper accessories to bring an elegant copper glow into the entertaining space. The beautiful handcrafted porcelain Shaws sink with Perrin and Rowe Phoenician tap gives a traditional, practical influence to the kitchen whilst a few touches of copper in the pendant lights and kitchen accessories lend warmth to a very simple colour scheme of grey and blue and immediately adds character and interest. The lighter grey of the worktops enhances the contrast and adding turquoise keeps the palette fresh. Photos by Lia Vittone
