Our brief was clear – simplicity, functionality and good design. Working in collaboration with architects Pleysier Perkins, meticulous space planning and architectural streamlining of this Victorian terrace opened it up as a machine for modern family living. The play area, toy storage, changeable dining space and portable workstation were all designed to be highly functional, while furniture, fittings and fabric selections were made for their inherent durability and endurance as well as providing playful and bold injections of colour and pattern into the spacious ambience. Staying true to this philosophy, private spaces engage finer patterning and warmer colours for a welcoming retreat.
