A great way to end the week with sunshine AND news of another successful planning application in a Conservation Area.🌞

This project will see a 1 bed flat converted into a 3 bed duplex with a living space that will connect beautifully to the lush garden.

A great way to future-proof a starter home and allow our clients to put their own stamp on their long term home. Looking forward to the next steps, but that can wait until Monday 🥂

Balancing natural and artificial light is something we are all thinking about as the days get shorter. But this time of year should also be about embracing the variety of light conditions and enjoying the seasonal change. 🍂

Design can help: a good natural & artificial lighting strategy works with changing conditions throughout the day and year to help define different types of space, from cosy nooks to flexible entertaining space.

Our modern refurbishment of a traditional Edwardian house aims to do just this. Careful lighting design offers occupants the opportunity to create different moods within a large open area, whilst also highlighting some of the best bits of the existing house and garden for a luxurious feel to a busy family home.

We love colour and we aren't afraid to use it.🎨

Your interior design choices should work with your architecture for the best results and so it can be a real advantage to have your Architect provide interior design services in addition to architectural and project management services.

Our holistic design process offers the option to do just that for a more design-led solution approach to the whole project. It's our preferred way of working and can mean a much higher quality final result than most clients would expect for their budgets.

Any thoughts on whether it was the print or the paint that was first here? And does it matter? We think so, but we'd rather let you make up your own mind 🤔😉

Thanks to .spaces for the snap.

Every problem is an opportunity and never more so in design. The best and most unique solutions tend to come from the creative problem solving process, just as with our answer to an existing, awkwardly placed and unsafe stair.

Our approach? Celebrate and enhance its awkward position and allow a constraint to become the key to a beautiful space.

We'll be publishing more on this approach so keep a look out 👀

Thanks to .spaces for capturing this angle🙏
