Minimal ma non troppo: trasformando il tavolo lo spazio intorno al “monolite di marmo” si allarga e viene percepita la continuazione della vena grigia abilmente lavorata da esperti artigiani. Il tavolo è un opera anch’essa su misura che riprende la larghezza della penisola ma aveva la necessità di ospitare 6 persone al tavolo: le gambe disposte in diagonale permettono di avere intorno al tabolo aperto anche due capotavola!

Um diesem Essplatz im Raum mehr Halt zu geben, wurde ein Sideboard an die Rückwand der Bank platziert. Da der Esstisch verlängerbar auf 3,2 Meter ist, wurde das Sideboard zusätzlich mit Rollen ausgestattet und ist somit bei Bedarf ganz leicht verschiebbar.

This renovation and extension transforms a mid-19th-century Schoolmaster’s House, originally designed by Gothic Revival architect William Butterfield. Built in the 1850s as part of Archdeacon John Sandford’s educational initiative, the building showcases Butterfield’s hallmark use of polychrome brickwork and crafted detail. Research supported by the Alvechurch Historical Society, The Bromsgrove Society, and the Hive Archives – together with the discovery of original drawings – revealed the building’s original fabric and informed our design strategy. The scheme balances historic sensitivity with contemporary living. Unsympathetic late-20th-century alterations were removed to restore clarity, while new interventions create light, proportion, and connection to the garden. The extension draws inspiration from Butterfield’s brick patterns, its distinct yet referential form enhanced by a frameless corner window. At the centre of the design, the former courtyard becomes the heart of the home. Original brickwork and an arched door are revealed, their patina preserved, with natural stone flooring referencing the historic surface. Elsewhere, a historic entrance has been reinstated, and a brick arch within the chimney exposed, now closed with weathered copper. High-performance insulation and triple glazing improve comfort and energy efficiency. The result is both restoration and reinvention – a respectful dialogue between past and present, creating a home rooted in history and ready for the future.

A spacious open-plan kitchen with navy cabinetry and white countertops, blending classic and contemporary elements. Large industrial-style glass doors lead to a beautifully landscaped garden, while exposed brick walls and wood floors add warmth and texture to the interior. Industrial-style steel-frame doors open onto a lush garden, with terraced landscaping framed by brick retaining walls. The combination of clean lines and natural textures creates a serene and welcoming outdoor connection.

As part of a large rear extension and conversion of a 1920’s bungalow in Haslemere, Surrey, we were commissioned to design and make a Classic Bespoke Shaker kitchen with a separate home bar in the newly extended open plan footprint that also includes a dining area and living space. In addition, we also designed and made the joinery the utility room and a boot room in the lobby. We were recommended to the clients by Hampshire-based interior designers, Emily Steen and Danielle Marsh, founders of Wells and Maguire, with whom we have collaborated on numerous previous projects, and who created the overall interior design scheme. The brief from the clients, a professional couple with two young children, was for a large open plan kitchen that would be functional for a family, but also as an ideal hub for larger-scale entertaining. They wanted lots of storage, a large central island, which would be used for surface cooking, and for all built-in or integrated appliances to be camouflaged from immediate view. Our clients came for meetings at our Winchester showroom where we presented lots of ideas. This kitchen includes many of the unique design details showcased in our showroom, and, once translated into a complete kitchen plan, all furniture was made bespoke to fit the dimensions of the room. The interior designers chose a colour scheme that extends throughout the ground floor, unifying the kitchen with the rest of the ground floor space. The architect-designed extension features a high vaulted ceiling with matching ceiling lanterns to let in natural light. This meant that the heights of the tall cabinets had to be carefully considered to fit with the dimensions of the space. Installed at right angles on the left-hand side of the room is a large feature window with a vista to the garden beyond. This layout automatically determined the location of the sink, which runs beneath the window along the rear elevation. All Shaker in frame cabinetry was made bespoke and features 30mm thick door and drawer fronts with 60mm Ogee edged door frames. All carcases are made from walnut MFC, with solid walnut edging on the shelves. All soft-close drawer boxes are dovetailed and are also made from solid walnut. Two tall cabinets and all undercounter cabinetry are painted in Portland Stone by Little Greene, while the island and the right-hand panelled cabinet are painted in Hague Blue by Farrow & Ball. Each tall cabinet features an elegant Georgian cornice at the top. Made to perfectly fit a slim wall space to the right of a set of glazed panel doors to the garden, is a tall dresser cabinet which is part of the left-hand run. The dresser has pocket doors that open into side recesses to reveal a breakfast station, set apart from the main cooking zone. When the doors are fully opened, coffee, tea and toast can be made without disturbing the cook. The cabinet features book-matched walnut veneered internals with LED lighting above a single glass shelf and a thick walnut-edged shelf at the centre. A coffee maker and a toaster sit upon a 30mm thick Misty Carrara Satinato quartz worktop, which is also used for the upstand behind. This quartz surface material is featured throughout the kitchen. Underneath the breakfast station, which faces the side of the island, is a wide utensil drawer, above a shallow-depth double door cabinet for storage. Along this left-hand run, further undercounter cabinetry includes a double-door cupboard for pull-out bins next to a bifold corner cabinet. All undercounter cabinets and drawers have 18.2cm antique brass handles, either in vertical or horizontal positions, from the Gaumont Collection by Armac Martin. An 80cm double ceramic farmhouse sink by Shaws stands proud above a 30mm thick quartz sill, to prevent spills and splashes onto the painted double door cabinet beneath. The sink is complemented by a Quooker Fusion 3-in-1 boiling water tap in a patinated brass finish. Beneath the worktop is an integrated 60cm dishwasher by Siemens next to a cupboard and a slim door cabinet for storing trays. This cabinetry run then extends to another tall glazed dresser that houses glasses and crockery, which faces the task side of the island. Integrated within are dimmable LEDs that illuminate the interior from above, making a feature of it at night. Two cutlery drawers beneath the quartz surface sit above further shallow-depth double-door cabinets. All the tall cabinets in this kitchen have longer 35.8cm antique brass handles, also from the Gaumont collection by Armac Martin. On the right-hand side of the island is the cooling run, designed to look like a tall standalone cabinet. This includes a Siemens tall larder fridge and a Liebherr integrated tall freezer, completely concealed within housings behind Shaker panelled doors. In addition, there is a larder cabinet at the centre. This has an internal spice and bottle rack with reduced depth shelving all for dry food storage. Horizontal handles are on the front of the door above two drawers beneath. The centrepiece of the kitchen is the 3.16m x 1.3 metre island with the same 30mm thick Satinato Carrara quartz worktop fitted as a single large slab with an aperture for the hob. Because the clients did not want to have their two 60cm built-in ovens by Siemens to be immediately visible, they are installed on the task side of the island between a set of three 1.2 metre width x 40cm depth drawers, including a pan drawer at the base, and each is flanked by a slim 30cm cabinet. The drawers are directly positioned in front of the slim flat motor for the Novy Panorama 90 Vented Downdraft Induction Hob which is fitted above, flush within the worktop. This has a quiet and powerful ventilation tower that elevates to 30cm from within the glass surface to extract grease and cooking vapours at source, directly behind the pans. When not in use, the tower retracts into the hob to be completely concealed. This type of vented hob is an ideal cooking and extraction solution for a kitchen with a high and vaulted ceiling. On the facing side of the island is a recessed area that accommodates four bar stools for informal dining at the island. There are two 20cm slim width cabinets on either side, both with antique brass ball knob handles, also by Armac Martin. Within the recess are four 46cm depth drawer boxes with finger-pull handles for additional discrete storage.
