Layered Luxury

A complete interior transformation of a tired 1990s architecturally designed home, reimagined around a rich, dark and moody aesthetic. Dark timbers, bespoke veneers, microcement finishes and curated feature lighting create depth and intimacy throughout. The kitchen was reconfigured alongside the adjoining laundry and scullery to improve flow, and new flooring unifies the spaces. Bespoke joinery including a custom television unit and integrated office cabinetry blend seamlessly into the architecture.

Glamour Nail & Beauty

Glamour Nail & Beauty Salon was designed around the idea of being transported to a pampering paradise. The client required an interior that provided a stark contrast to the exterior and masked the hustle and bustle outside. The design needed to ensure visibility from the street to attract spontaneous clients, while the spatial planning had to accommodate a kitchenette, accessible bathroom, two private beauty rooms, and dedicated areas for manicures, pedicures, and a client waiting area within a limited 76m² space. Through careful planning, we were able to meet all the client's needs.

The design emphasises the contrast between rough, raw materials and soft, elegant furnishings. We incorporated concrete plaster render and organic brick white-faced tiles, softened with boucle fabric on the waiting area chairs, soft pink sheer privacy curtains, and mushroom-coloured custom joinery.

Magnolia lane

Emma Brown had several things she wanted to achieve in her second new build home. First, to create a spacious home better suited for her growing family. Secondly, to showcase design elements and styles that her clients could see and touch by experiencing them first-hand. But most importantly, she wanted a home that embodied everything about her style – a striking design with a homely feel.
