This stunning kitchen transformation in St Albans is a perfect example of how thoughtful design can completely reimagine a space. Our clients wanted to modernise and brighten their kitchen while keeping utility appliances discreetly out of sight. For this project, we used our EasyTouch handleless cabinetry in a sophisticated pairing of Sand and Taupe, bringing a subtle contrast and warmth to the room. The base units were finished in Taupe Grey, grounding the space with a sleek, contemporary tone. The overhead cabinets in Sand added a lighter, beige-toned lift that opens up the room beautifully. The result is a refined, layered look that feels both modern and inviting. Algarve Quartz worktops in Blanco Snow elevate the design with a crisp, polished surface, complemented by a matching quartz splashback behind the hob for a seamless finish. To maximise both form and function, we extended the peninsular area for additional worktop space and created a special freezer larder unit alongside a stylish wine and coffee niche. Siemens appliances were chosen for their sleek design and advanced performance, which are seamlessly integrated into the layout. The result is a beautifully streamlined kitchen with hidden functionality, soft tones, and a layout that works perfectly for modern living. Ready to transform your own kitchen?

A Spa-Like Bathroom Retreat This bathroom started out with an outdated layout that didn’t make the best use of space. The finishes felt tired, and the room lacked the kind of flow and luxury that homeowners today are looking for. Our goal was to completely reimagine the space into a bright, functional, and spa-inspired retreat that blends modern design with timeless comfort. Here’s how we transformed it: Custom walk-in shower: We installed large-format porcelain tiles with a soft marble veining that makes the shower feel sleek and high-end. A built-in bench and recessed niche add everyday convenience, while dual showerheads (including a rainfall option) create a spa-worthy experience. The linear drain keeps the design seamless and modern. Freestanding soaker tub: A sculptural tub now sits by the window, giving the homeowners a relaxing place to unwind. It also adds a stunning visual element that elevates the entire room. Bright and airy design: Soft neutral tones on the walls and floor make the bathroom feel bigger and brighter. Paired with pot lights and natural light from the windows, the room feels open and inviting at any time of day. Double vanity upgrade: We installed a spacious dual-sink vanity with a quartz countertop that’s both elegant and practical. The soft-close cabinetry offers plenty of storage while keeping the look clean and streamlined. Polished hardware and fixtures tie it all together with a subtle touch of luxury. Finishing details: Every fixture and finish was carefully selected to create a cohesive look — from the sleek shower glass and brushed hardware to the statement light fixtures above the mirrors. The end result is a bathroom that feels like a private retreat. It’s spacious, functional, and stylish — the kind of space that makes you look forward to your morning routine and your evening wind-down.

Previously, this yard was burdened by a typical boulder pile pool, that was heaped higher than typical, trying to hide the towering wall behind. At first, the clients sought merely to reconfigure the BBQ that was congesting the patio, but upon further analysis, they decided it was time to strip the entire yard, leaving only the pool shell. Bianchi’s solution introduced an array of four arbors to distract the eye from the wall behind, solving what the boulder waterfall could never do. Additionally, the wall was painted a dark earth tone to add contrast and depth. This strategy enabled the wall to recede into the distance, while the agave blue grey arbors floated forward visually from the background. Previously, the patios were a hodgepodge of deck islands that were impossible to navigate, and were of insufficient size to arrange furniture on. A well organized patio streamlined the traffic flow and the living space, featuring a cast in place concrete fire pit and banco couch, as well as a new outdoor bistro, glowing with filtered light from the canvas shade sails overhead. A turquoise glass overflow spa became the yards focal point, sharing the space between the pool and outdoor living. The striking symmetry of the spa and pot pedestal with regal cacti arrangement behind, flanked by the arbors on either side, created a stately first impression from the front door. This teaser was just a glimpse of what could not yet be seen serving as an invitation to explore and enjoy as the yard unfolds.
