Space, light and order.

Striped fabric by was used for the bespoke scatter cushions in one of the tranquil guest bedrooms at Olea Villa. Wicker pendant lights hang either side of the bed above beautifully handcrafted wooden side tables. Out of sight sit a pair of welcoming decorative stools by and a rustic reclaimed bench.

Recently featured in , the garden room at our Notting Hill project was designed as a quiet retreat within a bustling city. Bespoke joinery was crafted specifically to the interesting spatial requirements of the room as well as the needs of the client.

By now you all know our Studio’s passion lies in discovering and nurturing handmade, artisanal crafts across Europe and around the world.

So, it was an incredible experience to visit the workshop in Strasbourg with Angela, Zen and my father, to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the remarkable craftsmanship and intricate processes that bring their creations to life. A true celebration of heritage, artistry and savoir-faire - thank you for the warm welcome 🦢

Some of our team travelled to Kraków this week to visit some of our supplier workshops and experience the incredible culture and heritage of the city.

Kraków is one of Poland’s most historic and architecturally rich cities, with its Old Town, Wawel Hill and historic district of Kazimierz forming a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city’s architectural identity has developed over centuries, with influences from early Romanesque through to Modernist periods. The centre is particularly known for its medieval street plan, grand Market Square, Renaissance buildings and beautifully ornate townhouses.

A children’s room is best designed to grow with them and in this playful boy’s bedroom, we incorporated thoughtful details to ensure it could evolve with him over time.

A dedicated study nook beneath the window makes clever use of the space, while open shelving provides the perfect spot for an ever-changing collection of books and treasures. From the bespoke trundle bed tucked underneath, tailored joinery and playful accents and considered storage, each detail is personal, practical and ready to grow along side him.

Tranquility is realised through a calming blend of natural textures in the primary en-suite of Olea Villa.

The generous freestanding bath is positioned perfectly for enjoying the verdant views outside the window. I paired it with solid oak block side tables and a raw willow wood ladder to create a beautifully understated, contemporary feel inside, to let the outside take centre stage.
