The pitched ceiling and panoramic ocean vista became the heart of the design — highlighted by a crystal chandelier and carefully planned lighting rather than hidden behind conventional finishes. Original floor-to-ceiling azulejo tiles gave way to warm wood slats, modernising the space while respecting its architectural character. Bold, personalised choices define every room: lavender kitchen cabinets paired with a pink tile backsplash and gold accents, a new bathroom carved beneath a skylight with a freestanding tub and walk-in rainfall shower, and bedrooms that balance colour (coral textiles, blue walls, brass reading lights) with flexibility. Every surface, fixture and layout was rethought — from the 1980s kitchen to the fully reimagined bathroom — delivering a turnkey home that feels both curated and liveable.

La cuisine a été entièrement repensée dans une ambiance moody, chic et élégante. Nos spécialistes en peinture sur menuiserie ont appliqué un vert profond et raffiné sur les armoires, créant une atmosphère à la fois chaleureuse et sophistiquée. Pour compléter ce look, un backsplash en microbéton gris vient apporter une texture contemporaine et un contraste subtil avec les teintes sombres. L’ensemble dégage une élégance intemporelle, où la modernité se mêle à une esthétique sobre et durable. Sol en epoxy. The kitchen was redesigned with a moody, chic, and elegant atmosphere. Our woodworking paint specialist applied a deep, sophisticated green finish to the cabinetry, bringing both warmth and refinement to the space. To complement this palette, a gray microcement backsplash was added, introducing contemporary texture and a subtle contrast with the darker tones. The result is timeless elegance, blending modern functionality with a sleek and durable aesthetic.

A couple retiring early to a Lake District property asked us to modernise their kitchen and utility space. They wanted to keep the areas separate, with the utility serving as their working space for laundry and for storing their walking boots after long walks in the fells. For their kitchen, they chose a handleless Keller Bronx Kitchen in Wild Oak, finished in an Ultra Matt Mist light grey colour. This was beautifully paired with 20mm quartz worktops, featuring an undermounted sink and matching splashback panels. We aimed to give the room character while maintaining a modern appeal. The clients love the new drawer systems, finding everything easily accessible. The kitchen is visually pleasing and simple to keep clean. The clean design created plenty of clear worktop space, complemented by a Quooker tap for instant boiling water, adding a touch of luxury. Modern Siemens appliances, including an inductAir vented hob, were seamlessly integrated into the layout to ensure an efficient kitchen workflow. Through the door, the utility room features matching furniture but with handled doors, prioritising practicality. It includes a stainless steel sink with a pull-down spray tap, while compact laminate worktops and splashbacks proved an excellent choice for this space. An integrated utility unit for cleaning products and laundry was a useful addition, with the washer and tumble dryer built-in to keep the room organised. A small boot unit made from the same Keller furniture was designed to sit on when putting boots on, alongside coat hooks for outdoor wear. Both rooms were finished with LVT tile-effect flooring installed by our trusted partner tradesmen. The flooring creating a seamless flow between the rooms. We also added under-wall unit LED lighting in both rooms, complementing the recently updated ceiling lights.

With its decorative mouldings and traditional influences throughout the home, this renovation is a classic take on modernism. Approaching the gates to the property, rich red brick surrounds a beautiful traditional white lacquered timber door with lead lite coloured panels on either side. Entering into the home, deep jarrah planked timber floors lead the way through to the kitchen and living areas. The kitchen was small for my client who loved to cook as well as her daughter’s love for baking, needing a re- configure of the space to allow the kitchen to flow and function between the existing kitchen and small meals room. Outdated cabinetry made their home look tired and needed a fresh take on the newly architecturally extended home. Traditional pairings of fresh whites, marbles and glass are delicately detailed within the design, modernising the homes interior. Lacquered chalky slabbed fronts surrounded by marbled benches and splashbacks, the introduction of curves to the isolated hood and island centre piece and depth injected with deep navy to create a monochrome palette. Warmth is then allowed in by brass hardware, reeded glass, a play on texture with tiles and warmly lit surfaces. Now a cook’s kitchen.
