Located in one of the finest terraces in Regent’s Park, the building had been badly bombed during World War 2 and had entirely lost its historic interiors as a result. A significant lateral apartment had been created which had been remodelled two or three times since the 1960s, most recently by the previous owners in a neo-classical French style. Our client liked this backdrop, and we build upon much of the existing fabric in developing our design. We did entirely remodel a poorly designed kitchen and bathroom, as well as creating a new library and media area in the drawing room. The decoration of the rooms is intentionally spare and restrained, with an almost minimalist aesthetic in areas – the softest palette of grey and lilac is used in the living room and kitchen, but combined with a far more dramatic treatment in the central entrance hallway and master bedroom. A palette of dusky blue, the softest shell pink and taupe reverberates throughout, and provides a foil for our client’s wonderful collection of antique and mid-century furniture, and contemporary art.
This apartment has sooo much personality (hellooooo malacite hallway) and the mix of traditional with modern furnishings really makes it unique and fun. Even the utility closet has tons of charm. Designed by Ben Pentreath.

“We love to work with our clients to create spaces that are unexpected and timeless … The key to our design style is mastering juxtaposition: finding balance between masculinity and femininity, using vintage pieces with new ones, and combining unexpected materials. Emma Beryl strives to create beauty and interest in every space.”

With its reconfigured layout, designer furniture and large contemporary art this SoHo, Manhattan loft is a blend of sophistication and bohemian charisma. The space’s white painted brick walls and iconic iron columns are celebrated in this coveted oasis in bustling Manhattan. Green Street by interior designer Augusta Hoffman.

Melissa Hutley and Charlie Humm, of London and Surrey based design studio Hutley and Humm love antiques, pattern, relaxed elegance and character. They also clearly love colour and take a really approachable, whimsical and add a touch of modern to their mostly British-vibing spaces. The greens in combination with that marble in the kitchen above completely sold me 🙂

There has been a castle on this site since the 13th century. This house, masterplanned and designed by our senior design director, Rupert Cunningham of Ben Pentreath, represents the latest phase in a storied building programme that saw the house largely rebuilt in the 17th century, enlarged again in the 18th century, enlarged again and considerably remodelled in the 19th century, and then suffering ruin in the 20th century. In the 1970s, the Victorian work was demolished and the tower house beautifully and imaginatively restored to its 17th century form – once again becoming home to the family that have owned it for the last 650 years. As part of a new remodelling and restoration, Rupert was asked to execute an initial proposal by Groves Raines Architects, for a substantial new wing to the west, which houses a large new family room and kitchen.  To the rear is a large new service court.  The work is beautifully detailed and conceived in the Scottish vernacular-classical tradition, with a steeply pitched roof of Westmorland slate and walls in rough harling with natural stone detailing, to create a building that is at once completely timeless, authentic and convincing. Rupert conceived the new spectacular staircase and the interior architecture of all the new rooms. The interior decoration was carried out by the owner, working closely with Kate Arbuthnott.
This castle appears to be straight out of a fairytale and is equally impressive on the inside. I can’t imagine the feeling driving up to this and thinking this is home.
