Simplicity is our default approach
Simplicity in design is a tenet we hold dear. There is an expression that “it’s easy to make something difficult, but difficult to make it easy”. We recognise that simplicity is often deceptive, and that some complexity of thought may be necessary to make an end result appear ‘effortless’.
We believe in the life-enhancing
power of good design.
Design is fundamentally linked to living well and enjoying life. Our designs will always demonstrate that one need not make compromise to the other.
We don’t do what’s easy, we do what’s right. We take pride in our work because when we get it right, you can take pride in it too.
We are progressive
We prioritise meaningful progress – a continuum of design improvement driven by creative curiosity. We embrace change as a part of how we make a difference.
We believe in being approachable and in taking a real interest in lives as lived. Our curiosity about how you live is what enables us to create designs that will make your life better.

A better life, by design.
As we optimise space, we increase the opportunity for interaction and, conversely, for moments of privacy.
Cooking, dining, relaxing and bathing can be sources of pleasure and of frustration; maximising the former and minimising the latter is where we place our focus for your recreation.
On a personal note.
We aim to heighten the light and the shade, to layer texture with personality, to shape sound in space. We design function and feel in tandem with aesthetic.
We listen before we speak, we look before we suggest, we ask before we assume.
The result is a home that is designed to be easy to live in, productive, joyous and relaxing. With us, it’s always about you, and it’s always personal!
How we bring it all together
LET’S GET TO KNOW
EACH OTHER A LITTLE
Tell us about your project – over a coffee (or our very own Gin) in one of our showrooms. We’ll talk about timescales, budget, the stage you’re at, and bring drawings if you have them. We’ll explore some ‘musts’, ‘likes’ and we’ll ask a few questions about how you live. Ask about our better life approach
Don’t have a builder? Need an installer? We can provide an installation quote for you. For larger, more complex projects we can recommend architects, surveyors, structural engineers etc.
INITIAL THOUGHTS AND
DESIGN PROPOSAL
We create a proposal for you – with our design thoughts and suggestions. If you have existing plans or CAD drawings please share these with us. We will present some guide pricing for budgets and any other help you need. We’ll send you all this information electronically for you to look at to show you the possibilities.
LET’S GET STARTED
ON THE DETAIL
We get to know you and the space – if required we can visit the site to get accurate measurements and gather any further information for the design stage. We’ll start working up ideas and solutions and present these concepts to you. Usually one to two hours – but it takes what it takes. Once we have agreed on the best option, we will develop more detail.
Ask us about Smart Home Technology.
THE DESIGN
