I loved the idea of working with a young, fresh company who are really excited about our project.
I knew I didn’t want something trend-led and they’ve worked with us to create a truly timeless, classic design. The previous owners had stripped out so much of the original character of the home and I feel like what we’re doing here is putting the soul back into it.
Creating a new home for the owners’ extensive vinyl collection was at the heart of this brief.
A music room with sliding pocket doors sits immediately off the kitchen, enabling the space to be opened-up when hosting or completely sealed off for a more intimate listening experience.
The material palette is predominantly focused on natural materials with oak cabinet fronts and flooring. Cork is used to line the shelves, providing visual interest and enhancing the acoustic performance of the space.
Circles and arches are adopted as motifs throughout as a reference to the architecture of the building. A large circular oculus skylight is complemented by ambient wall lighting and task lighting integrated within the joinery.
