Full Renovation & Interior Design

For clients undertaking significant works to their home, where both architectural and interior elements will be reimagined. We collaborate with architects, builders, and specialist trades from the earliest stages to ensure the interior vision is seamlessly integrated. Our role extends from spatial planning and joinery design through to the selection of finishes, furnishings, and final styling.

Furniture, Art & Object Curation

For clients seeking to elevate an existing home without structural works. We curate and source furniture, lighting, textiles, window treatments, rugs, and decorative objects, layering them to create a home that feels complete, cohesive, and unmistakably yours. This type of collaboration is ideal for those moving into a new home or refreshing an existing space with a tailored, classic–contemporary aesthetic.

Our process is grounded in trust, transparency, and collaboration. We take the time to understand your vision, respect your timelines and budget, and place quality above all else. Every decision is guided by both the architectural legacy of your home and the way you want to live in it now and in the future.
