Another project that we’ve just photographed is this remarkable new home in the Surrey Hills – between Guildford and Dorking. This was a major residential conversion and a challenging project. The site was a derelict stable yard, and we worked closely with the clients to design this beautiful new house, whilst still retaining the character […]
Last month I shared the demolition of part of the interior of my own home. It was so exciting to have a large area of our home stripped out, ready for a full redesign and remodel of this space. But why strip out quite so far? Well sometimes the biggest gains can be made with […]
We’ve been catching up on project photography, and here’s a peek at one of our recent interior design projects that we’ll be adding to the portfolio shortly. When designing for homes of this size it’s crucial to create a consistent feel throughout the different areas. Rooms can still feel quite distinct from each other, but […]
Design projects in my own home don’t come around as often as work for clients. It’s probably just as well – as an interior designer it’s so much more difficult designing for myself! Although really I’m designing for my wife and I, so I still have a client to respond to and work with. Luckily […]
We’ve often tackled a diverse range of interior design projects – both in their location and the style of the properties. This variety makes the job of an interior designer challenging, and it’s also a big part of what makes the work so rewarding. And as a result we never end up doing the same […]
We’ve adapted so much of how we work during lockdown. We’re working very successfully remotely, although we miss meeting our clients and suppliers in person, and visiting our sites quite so often. There are little things we miss too… the places that give us inspiration, the galleries and the museums. Probably none more than the […]
Well 2020 was a bit different! A challenging year for everybody in different ways. We feel very lucky to have been so busy, and to have been able to continue working throughout such a strange year. It’s definitely time for a break now though! We wish everybody happy holidays and a healthy and […]
I’m thrilled that we’ve been voted an award-winner in the United Kingdom Property Awards 2020/2021. Part of the International Property Awards, they’ve been running for over 25 years now, judging the very best in architecture and interior design around the world. We’ve won our award for Best Interior Design Website in the UK. We’re […]
The passing of designer Terence Conran this week was a sad moment. A fabulous innovator across design, home retail and architecture, who has been a great influence on me, although I didn’t realise at first. Conran founded the habitat chain of high street home stores, which had a branch in Sheffield where I grew up […]
You might already know that I don’t believe in interior design trends as a major influence on the residential design projects that I undertake for private clients. Sometimes new needs arise as a result of changes in the world though, and lately that’s been a very big and very sudden need in response to Covid-19. […]
