On the second floor, the transformation was achieved without adding a single square foot. By reimagining an oversized, inefficient closet and an adjacent office, we were able to thoughtfully reconfigure the layout and introduce a new primary bathroom. This strategic redesign created a gracious primary suite that feels well-proportioned and intentional, proving that meaningful change often comes from smarter use of space rather than expansion.

This master ensuite in a coastal cottage in Guernsey was previously struggling with low ceilings, but by borrowing space from the loft above we transformed it into a light, airy, generous space. The timber beams were reconditioned, a dressing room was incorporated into the ensuite and it was fitted out with beautiful period brassware, sanitary ware and furniture much more in keeping with the cosy family dwelling. The owners now get to enjoy a country boutique hotel like experience daily!

This 1950's home was in the need of an overhaul. Family of 4, they needed functional storage, easy to clean materials, and a proper master closet and bathroom. Timeless design drove the material selections and period appropriate fixtures made this house feel updated yet still fitting to the homes age. White custom cabinetry, classic tiles, mirrors and light fixtures were a perfect fit for this family. A large walk in shower, with a bench, in the new reconfigured master bathroom was an amazing transformation. All the bedrooms were outfitted with more useful storage. The master closet even got a full desk workspace with all the natural light you could ask for.

This garage rebuild transformed a historically inconsistent structure into one that better reflects the home’s original character. Deep green paint echoes the brownstone trim, historically appropriate siding reinforces its period style, and a meticulously crafted cupola provides a charming, era-accurate focal point.

In order to transform this pocket-sized 1920s kitchen into a family gathering space, we had to get creative, using the existing kitchen, dining area and enclosed porch. The process was further complicated as the home required a Historic Review due to its age and location. The new design includes subway tile and reclaimed wood, maintaining the room’s charm without compromising modern conveniences.
Custom windows were designed to match the original windows, and the original kitchen area was transformed into a fully-functioning breakfast bar, with a twist. The breakfast bar now stores all the fixings the clients need to prep meals for their kids. When company comes over, they can convert it into a full-service bar. The granite-top island is the heart of the kitchen. It serves as both a prep station and the perfect gathering space with chairs. Underneath, the island offers near limitless storage for appliances.
The most functional element of the kitchen is also the most loved by the clients — the dining banquette. This beautiful space features a custom bench with storage, custom period-specific windows and a reclaimed walnut tabletop. It’s the perfect place for the family to eat a cozy meal or host friends for dinner.

The owners of this South Dublin period family home have relocated their kitchen to create a bright and bespoke new design – a total transformation from its predecessor. The bespoke 30mm solid wood cabinetry features stepped Shaker doors and solid oak internals. The cabinetry has been handpainted in Farrow & Ball French Grey, creating an elegant, calming space. The open shelving over the sink with the mirror finish is a key element of the design, which allows for the natural light to reflect around the room, giving views of the beautiful exposed brick feature from all angles. Aged brass handles complete the look.

Located near the Champs-Elysées in the 8th arrondissement, Le Marianne (www.lemarianne.com) is the very image of Paris: both steeped in history and firmly rooted in its time.
This beautiful building from the Haussmann period has been transformed into a modern and comfortable hotel in a chic, contemporary style that embodies French savor faire and joie de vivre.
Inside, the assembly of material, like wood, stone, gives rhythm to the unique identity of this 4 star Parisian designed by the architect Charles Zana (www.zana.fr).

We put the grandeur back into this Victorian home.
Using a neutral palette, white cabinetry from floor to ceiling, new period vent grates and fixtures, a complimentary pairing of quartz on the island and perimeter cabinetry and a crackled subway backsplash. Two fixed length school house pendants were added to diffuse the light and draw the eyes up.
New hardwood flooring was installed and the existing hardwoods were restored and refinished.
Check out the BEFORE photos for a full appreciation of this transformation.

Boho meets Portuguese design in a stunning transformation of this Van Ness tudor in the upper northwest neighborhood of Washington, DC. Our team’s primary objectives were to fill space with natural light, period architectural details, and cohesive selections throughout the main level and primary suite. At the entry, new archways are created to maximize light and flow throughout the main level while ensuring the space feels intimate. A new kitchen layout along with a peninsula grounds the chef’s kitchen while securing its part in the everyday living space. Well-appointed dining and living rooms infuse dimension and texture into the home, and a pop of personality in the powder room round out the main level. Strong raw wood elements, rich tones, hand-formed elements, and contemporary nods make an appearance throughout the newly renovated main level and primary suite of the home.
