This charming period property in Midhurst was in urgent need of an overhaul after being a rental for many years. The ground floor felt very cramped and had an awkward layout, whilst upstairs was riddled with damp issues. We completed a full design and build on this property, with a good sized ground floor extension and a total refurbishment. This allowed for an inviting kitchen and dining area which was perfect for our clients’ to entertain and spend time with their family. Carefully considered colour was injected into all the rooms, together with playful fabrics and unique vintage furniture. 
This home is now brimming with personality thanks to the kaleidoscope of colour used throughout. It is tantalizing right from the entryway and invites you inside with open arms. By Vaughan Design & Development.

In 2022, a vibrant transformation took place in the heart of Lyon’s Croix-Rousse district. A 65 square meter apartment underwent a complete renovation, orchestrated by the skilled hands of studio CRAIE CRAIE. The space, once outdated, was reborn with a burst of lively colours and playful volumes, a testament to the studio’s distinctive graphic identity. The renovation preserved the apartment’s unique features: a small, colourful kitchen flowed into the living area, adorned with a black-and-white checkered floor reminiscent of an American diner. The transformation journey extended to every corner, from a cleverly optimized kitchen with vibrant green accents to a bedroom seamlessly integrated with custom storage. The bathroom, adorned with shades of green and pink, retained its classic charm with a touch of contemporary flair. Throughout the home, thoughtful details like vintage handles and strategically placed mirrors added a touch of whimsy. This apartment, a testament to CRAIE CRAIE’s ingenuity, offers a living space and a visual feast, a fusion of past and present, brought to life through a vibrant kaleidoscope of colours and creative design.

This apartment in the historic Cobble Hill neighorhood belongs to partner, Erin Fearins and has been carefully renovated to include custom millwork and an expertly layered mix of vintage furniture pieces and carefully curated art and antiques.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. KODA QVB Hair Salon by Arent & Pyke.

“cúpla’ is Gaelic for ‘a couple’. It is the essence of parity which sits at the core of cúpla, the belief of one not existing (or attaining true potential) without the other, in this instance, architecture and interior design.”

I love a designer’s own home, full of inspiring ideas. After all, when you are your own client the boundaries can be pushed. Welcome to the fabulous and fun Acton apartment of Gemma McCloskey founder of cúpla studio.
