A new build waterside escape in Louisiana

Posted on Thu, 16 Mar 2023 by KiM

This new build was designed as a waterside escape for its owners and a place for them to gather with their family and friends. Working with Watters Architecture to create an intimately-scaled home that could flex from being used by two as a cozy retreat to housing large groups, we turned to a classic center hall design with a primary suite wing and multiple bunk rooms on the upper level. A dreamy oak clad office space, acting as a bridge between the main house and primary wing, doubles as a private sitting room for the owners when the house is full of guests. This Louisiana camp required a dose of vernacular design, but an upbringing familiar with East Coast summer homes inspired shiplap walls, nautical touches, and a dose of nostalgia. Our clients’ sophisticated and well traveled taste brought in a layer of Mediterranean elements and African decor, creating a relaxing, cool, and down right fun place to play on the water or kick up your feet.

Mid-century bungalow makeover

Posted on Mon, 13 Mar 2023 by midcenturyjo

“A charming mid-century California Bungalow in a riverside location is sensitively and deftly re-imagined with extensive additions, renovations and interior design covering all spaces new and old … Calm and quiet, flooded with natural light and views to the garden through every window and even brick, this home is magnificently responsive to everything the busy and happy family can throw at it inside and out. As, hopefully, all homes can be.”

Harlington Manor

Posted on Sun, 5 Mar 2023 by KiM

This exceptional Grade II*-listed, 10-bedroom manor house is nestled in the centre of the pretty village of Harlington. With origins in the late 14th century, it has been updated many times by its various owners, resulting in a beautifully renovated house with a long and rich history. Extending over 8,300 sq ft internally, the house also has numerous outbuildings encompassing 1,905 sq ft, including a garage, a stable block, a barn and two annexes, meaning it is exceptionally flexible and full of potential. The manor’s various extensions and remodels have left the house packed with rare original features, such as four-centred Tudor fireplaces, moulded beams and a Tudor foliate boss, and some early 17th-century panelling.
The amount of character and history in this home is incredible and would be a dream to own. Harlington Manor for sale via Inigo.
