Our Work

We have had the pleasure of working on a wide range of projects, each one a testament to our commitment to excellence. One such project was the renovation of a property on Matilda Street. We worked closely with the client to completely gut the property from top to bottom, sourcing all the necessary furniture, lighting, and carpeting. Our goal was to create a contemporary look that resonated with urban living while still paying homage to the property's aged charm.

Another notable project was the design of a beautiful apartment in Rutland, part of a Grade 1 listed property. We worked closely with the client to bring new life to featureless rooms, designing a stunning kitchen in collaboration with Mark Wilkinson Kitchens. We also transformed the stairwell with the installation of a correct cornice and the use of Lewis and Wood wallpaper. The addition of mirrors greatly enhanced the space.

Notable Features

One of our Master Bedrooms was transformed with the addition of cornice and deeper aqua blue walls. Christopher Clark joinery supplied a beautiful wardrobe, which was painted a suitably dark aqua. We also dressed the bed in a traditional manner with simple corona and side curtains. The windows were dressed with classical curtain treatment, maintaining a classical contemporary feel throughout the commission.

In the snug, we installed a fireplace and log burner, making it a cozy space perfect for winter evenings. We also replaced the previous ironwork spiral staircase, giving the room a more substantial feel. Christopher Clark installed bookcases on either side of the fireplace, which were painted to match. Window treatments were slightly more contemporary, with rich and warm colors throughout the room.

In Spare Bedroom No 1, we enhanced the domed ceiling with a bold color scheme, giving the room huge character. In Spare Bedroom No 2, we used Lewis and Wood fabric for the curtains and accompanying fabrics, giving the room a lighter and more contemporary feel.

Publications

We are proud to have contributed to several publications, including Farrow & Ball's "Living with Colour" book, featuring eight pages of our work.
