Private Homes
Creating thoughtful interiors for discerning clients, designed to be enjoyed for a lifetime.
Mariners
Mariners stands majestically overlooking the ocean at Housel Bay, on the Lizard Peninsula. As a new-build, we were asked to furnish the house from top to bottom.
Benwood, Polzeath
The flat, level plot initially housed an outdated bungalow which was replaced with a contemporary, clifftop three-storey new build.
Padstow Town House
A recently finished renovation project on a property in one of the winding back streets of Padstow.
Hideaway, Port Isaac
Tucked away on a Port Isaac back street, the remit for this project was to create a coastal escape for the private use of a busy client.
Coastguard Cottage, Port Isaac
As the holiday home for a private client, it was important that this project resulted in a relaxing, Cornish getaway.
Tye Rock, Porthleven
We were instructed by the client to complete a full renovation of this historic property which was done over an 18-month period.
River View Villa, Wadebridge
River View Villa started life as a little, one-bedroom, 1970s bungalow that hadn’t had any attention for many years. We reconfigured the entire property, finding space for two bedrooms.
Chew Valley Lake
Set in a 14th century manor house on the outskirts of Bristol, it was essential that we captured the historic setting of the house and that this was reflected in the design.
Port Isaac Garden
As with many Cornish fishing villages, the cottages were tightly packed and terraced on a slope, so careful consideration had to be given as to how we would create the garden space as well as the removal of surplus material.
Bristol Home
This project saw a full renovation of a 1960s detached house on the outskirts of Bristol. The client brief was for a functional and ergonomic design that would be uncomplicated and easy to live with, while adding character to existing building.
Luxury Ski Chalet
Winner of the Best International Ski Chalet award, by Design Et Al.
By combining lots of dark timber with rich, deep-coloured furnishings we were able to create a contemporary yet warm and inviting space that included and office and a cinema room.
Bristol Kitchen Refurbishment
Already a client of ours, the owner wanted us to recreate the kitchen space in his home to reflect his love of ergonomics while making the most of its natural woodland location.
Stone’s Throw, Polzeath
The client had a clear vision of what they wanted to achieve for this new build project and our brief was to add luxurious furnishings to achieve a ready-to-live home.
Polzeath Home
An ultra-contemporary approach with a wide-reaching appeal, offering a dream coastal lifestyle.
