Artist's House

This double-fronted townhouse was extensively renovated for a young family, with our architecture and interior design teams working closely together. The brief was to create something fresh and colourful that reflected the family's life while honouring the building's original character. Behind the handsome façade lay a garden studio, once used as an art gallery, which became the key to unlocking the whole project.

By connecting the studio to the main house, an entirely new heart was created — a light-filled kitchen and dining room that changed the way the family moves through and experiences their home. Architectural details were reinstated throughout, complemented by bespoke joinery and layered with a lighter, more contemporary spirit. Colour was used boldly from the start — a warm terracotta in the double living room, dark blues through the kitchen and main bedroom, a mellow yellow for the cabinetry — each one an echo of the next, so that with every door open the spaces feel connected.

A natural palette, honest materials and characterful furniture create a home that feels refined yet relaxed — children and dogs have the run of every room. Beautiful, comfortable and robust enough for family life.
