All the ways in which we live our life have been elevated by the beautiful, but also incredibly functional, design. Nothing in our house is just for show. Every bit is being used and enjoyed.
Every single thing we do in the house has become special. Making a coffee in the morning is a really lovely experience, even having a bath is a magical moment.
The owners of this Victorian house were looking to create a family-friendly space where they could embrace their love of cooking and feasting, as well as enjoying the simple moments of day-to-day life.
Inspired by their Mediterranean heritage and favourite travel destinations, the design embraces organic curved forms and an indulgently rich materials palette, featuring Bejmat glazed tiles, natural clay plaster, fluted velvet, marble and oak joinery.
It felt like Ben and Joanna were so committed to getting it right. They are as obsessed with the details as you are, even though it’s not their house. Nothing was too small for them to pay attention to.
Bringing the outside in, without letting children or cats out, was one of the key requirements of this brief. This was achieved with a stunning retractable rooflight, which sits over a dedicated coffee station.
The extension also opens out onto a tranquil courtyard garden, designed as inviting outdoor room for relaxation and al-fresco dining.
