“Years spent living abroad in a number of different homes, in New York and Hong Kong, had our clients yearning for a joyful home that would feel uniquely theirs, where they could settle with their three children. Our canvas was a former worker’s cottage, which had been renovated into a much larger home by architect Sam Crawford several years before. Our clients wanted their home to reflect their experiences travelling and passion for art and entertaining, so we were engaged to inject colour and add layers to get the most out of each space. The result is a home which is truly bespoke.”

What a feast of colour and materials! From the Verde Guatemala marble and pinky purple vein of Calacatta Viola marble to the Morrocan tiles and the burl veneer to the jewel like jugs and pops of pattern in the bedrooms it’s a kaleidoscope of joy.
