A coastal Scandinavian renovation project, combining a Victorian seaside cottage with Scandi design. We wanted to create a modern, open-plan living space but at the same time, preserve the traditional elements of the house that gave it it's character.

Seahorses is a stunning new home near Falmouth enjoying magnificent panoramic views of the south coast seascape. Sitting on the clifftops within an AONB, the house and gardens occupy a gently sloping site that connects with the adjacent South West Coastal Path. The context and terrain of the surrounding landscape informed the design and an imaginative and ambitious solution to site levels was crucial to the success of the scheme. As a result, the completed house is lower than the original, thus creating privacy for the occupants whilst still respecting neighbouring homes. The split-level, linear design is carefully organised around a spine wall of local granite that runs from the exterior of the building through the interior. This arrangement allows the living areas and bedrooms to connect with the landscape and integrate seamlessly with outdoor spaces. A mix of grasses, sedum and indigenous coastal plants on the green roof help to embed the building into its surroundings. The palette of natural materials creates a layered, permeable effect on the exterior, which will season with time and weather, thereby allowing it to assimilate into its coastal setting. Of equal importance was landscaping, which was integral to the design intent. With thoughtful positioning of the new dwelling, significant areas of mature and established planting were protected and retained. Photograph: Elliott White Photography

This terrace house had remained empty for over two years and was in need of a complete renovation. Our clients wanted a beautiful home with the best potential energy performance for a period property. The property was extended on ground floor to increase the kitchen and dining room area, maximize the overall building potential within the current Local Authority planning constraints. The attic space was extended under permitted development to create a master bedroom with dressing room and en-suite bathroom. The palette of materials is a warm combination of natural finishes, textures and beautiful colours that combine to create a tranquil and welcoming living environment.

This kitchen in St Albans was created as part of a new entertainment space, designed to bring family and friends together. Our clients wanted a bright and open space that could be used for both everyday life and entertaining. With a preference for a Scandi-inspired look, we achieved this by choosing our handleless range in a stunning combination of Fjord Blue, Sand and Como Oak. This mix of shades adds character and warmth while maintaining a clean and minimalist look. Worktops are 20mm AG Silestone in Nolita Suede, supplied by Algarve Granite. The subtle tone enhances the natural textures of the scheme, offering a refined surface that’s both practical and elegant. Appliances are by Siemens, ensuring modern performance and seamless integration. A Blanco sink and Quooker tap provide added functionality, keeping the kitchen efficient without compromising on design. The layout has been tailored to the client’s request for a true entertainment space, featuring a walk-in larder and dedicated wine storage for easy access during gatherings. With ample space for family and friends, the result is a kitchen that combines style and sociability.
