We were commissioned to design and make a bespoke kitchen and a separate dining space with banquette seating for our clients, who were in the process of having a new private home built on the outskirts of Winchester. Following these initial projects, we were then briefed to design and create all the fitted furniture for the pantry, laundry room, boot room, banquette seating for the bedroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom vanity. We worked closely with our clients who had a distinct vision of the aesthetic they were seeking, so our role was to interpret their requirements to create a beautiful kitchen and dining area, designed with perfect flow and functionality, and perfectly in-keeping with the rest of the space. The entire ground floor is neutrally decorated in Stone 1 by Paint & Paper Library on the walls and ceiling. It has large black steel Crittall windows throughout, with full-height Crittall doors leading to the garden. Matching internal glazed panel doors lead to a separate drawing room, while the rest of the ground floor is dedicated to the open plan kitchen and entertaining area. The hand-laid patterned Ash flooring was chosen during the design process so the dark stain of the vertical grain Oak veneered fronts, and plinth on the island was chosen to complement it. All Antique Brass knobs and handles are by Armac Martin and all Antique Brass wall brackets are by Corston Architectural. These complement the pendant and wall lights by Apparatus Studio and wall lights above the sink run by Blue Print Lighting NYC. There are two main runs of cabinetry which are made using dark stained oak carcases and solid oak shelves. The 22mm thick door and drawer fronts feature 18mm broken ogee bead mouldings and all are handpainted in Stone 2 by Paint & Paper Library. The tall run behind the island runs floor-to-ceiling with a moulded cornice at the top matching the cornicing in the rest of the room. Five storage top boxes run along the length of the cabinetry and are situated above (from left) a tall integrated cabinet for glasses, next to an integrated tall freezer by Gaggenau. At the centre is housing for a bank of Gaggenau Vario 400 cooking appliances consisting of a single oven with a combination microwave above and a 29cm culinary drawer beneath. A reduced height top box and a shallow drawer for racks and trays are above and below. To the right is a tall integrated fridge next to an integrated three-zone wine conditioning cabinet, all by Gaggenau. On the task side, directly in front of the bank of ovens, is a personalised Gaggenau cook centre mounted within the 3.6m x 1.3m island’s 30mm thick Bianco Superiore Honed Quartzite worktop. This comprises a domino gas hob, domino induction hob and domino teppan yaki, separated by two downdraft extractors in-between and all feature rotary controls integrated within cabinetry beneath. The entire hob set is rebated into the worktop providing a completely flush finish. Also on the task side are handleless deep drawers for pots and pans beneath handleless shallow drawers for cutlery and utensils. At one end of the island is a square ceramic undermount sink by Shaws and Quooker Fusion Pro3 Boiling Water Tap with a special finish, which is used for food preparation. The facing side of the island features further handleless cabinets, all with pull-out shelves on soft close runners, together with further shallow storage drawers above them. The long sink run extends beneath a large Crittall window. Undercounter from left is an integrated pull-out fridge by Liebherr next to two pull-out storage drawers and a cabinet for pull-out bins. At the centre is a Shaws Entwistle single bowl sink with an aged brass Perrin & Rowe Ionian Tap. Beneath the farmhouse style sink is a 30mm quartzite sill to accommodate for spils and splashes protecting the painted woodwork of the sink cabinet, a signature addition by Searle & Taylor. To the right of the sink is a 60cm integrated dishwasher by Miele adjacent to further deep and shallow storage drawers. At the end of the run is a specially designed cabinet for two dark oak pull-out trays and two solid dark oak pull-out chopping boards, another signature design by Searle & Taylor. Matching the quartzite worktop is a 30mm splashback and upstand in the same material. In addition, there are four 30mm thick quartzite shelves with with ogee edged moulding, that sit upon the Corston Architectural brackets. To the right of the kitchen area is the dining area within a triple window recess. Built within the bay is a large bespoke banquette seating area made by Searle & Taylor, with piano-hinged lids to provide hidden cushion storage behind the seats. LED lighting runs at the base of the cabinetry to make a feature of the seating at night. On either side of the banquette are alcove cabinets in the same dark oak stained veneer as the kitchen island and kitchen accents. An oval dark oak Miniforms Monoplauto dining table from Go Modern sits at the centre with two further Fritz Harken Series 7 dining chairs from The Conran Shop.

Au cœur de la place du Pin à Nice, cet appartement autrefois sombre et délabré a été métamorphosé pour faire entrer la lumière naturelle. Nous avons souhaité créer une architecture à la fois épurée, intimiste et chaleureuse. Face à son état de décrépitude, une rénovation en profondeur s’imposait, englobant la refonte complète du plancher et des travaux de réfection structurale de grande envergure. L’une des transformations fortes a été la dépose de la cloison qui séparait autrefois le salon de l’ancienne chambre, afin de créer un double séjour. D’un côté une cuisine en bois au design minimaliste s’associe harmonieusement à une banquette cintrée, qui elle, vient englober une partie de la table à manger, en référence à la restauration. De l’autre côté, l’espace salon a été peint dans un blanc chaud, créant une atmosphère pure et une simplicité dépouillée. L’ensemble de ce double séjour est orné de corniches et une cimaise partiellement cintrée encadre un miroir, faisant de cet espace le cœur de l’appartement. L’entrée, cloisonnée par de la menuiserie, se détache visuellement du double séjour. Dans l’ancien cellier, une salle de douche a été conçue, avec des matériaux naturels et intemporels. Dans les deux chambres, l’ambiance est apaisante avec ses lignes droites, la menuiserie en chêne et les rideaux sortants du plafond agrandissent visuellement l’espace, renforçant la sensation d’ouverture et le côté épuré.

La cuisine, lieu de partage et de convivialité, se métamorphose. Une banquette, douce par ses courbes et accueillante par son revêtement en chêne massif, se niche près de la fenêtre. C’est là que la table de salle à manger trouvera sa place.

A thoughtful reconfiguration transformed a busy family hub into a bright, timeless space designed for togetherness & everyday ease. Every detail was considered to enhance flow, function, and comfort for the whole family. The bespoke kitchen was carefully designed to make the most of every inch, combining practicality with enduring style. A palette of timeless neutrals and high-quality finishes ensures the space will stand the test of time—both functionally and aesthetically. In the adjacent dining and snug areas, character comes through in curated pops of colour & vintage textures. Vintage cigar presses are set into the recess above the banquette, while the linear detail continues in the reeded glass of the cabinets—bringing subtle rhythm and cohesion to the space. Beyond its visual impact and added property value, one of the most meaningful outcomes of the renovation is how it’s changed the way the family lives. With improved storage, flow, natural light, and a stronger connection to the garden, the space has become a true hub of family life—even drawing the teenage boys out to spend more time together

This elegant dining space seamlessly blends classic and modern design elements, creating a sophisticated and inviting ambiance. The room features a large bay window that allows ample natural light to illuminate the space, enhancing the soft, neutral color palette. A plush, tufted bench in a rich teal velvet lines one side of the dining area, offering comfortable seating along with a touch of color. The bespoke bench is flanked by marble columns that match the marble archway, adding a luxurious feel to the room. A mid-century modern wooden dining table with a smooth finish and organic curves is surrounded by contemporary chairs upholstered in light gray fabric, with slender brass legs that echo the bench's elegance. Above, a statement pendant light with a cloud-like design and brass accents provides a modern focal point, while the classic white ceiling rose and intricate crown molding pay homage to the building's historical character. The herringbone patterned wooden floor adds warmth and texture, complementing the classic white wainscoting and wall panels. A vase with a lush arrangement of flowers serves as a centerpiece, injecting life and color into the setting. This space, ideal for both family meals and formal gatherings, reflects a thoughtful curation of design elements that respect the building's heritage while embracing contemporary style.

Pour la rénovation complète de ce studio, le brief des propriétaires était clair : que la surface accueille tous les équipements d’un grand appartement. La répartition des espaces était néanmoins contrainte par l’emplacement de deux fenêtres en L, et celui des évacuations de plomberie positionnées à l’entrée, ne laissant pas une grande liberté d’action. Pari tenu pour l’équipe d’Ameo Concept : une cuisine offrant deux plans de travail avec tout l’électroménager nécessaire (lave linge, four, lave vaisselle, plaque de cuisson), une salle d’eau harmonieuse tout en courbes, une alcôve nuit indépendante et intime où des rideaux délimitent l’espace. Enfin, une pièce à vivre fonctionnelle et chaleureuse, comportant un espace dînatoire avec banquette coffre, sans oublier le salon offrant deux couchages complémentaires. Une rénovation clé en main, où les moindres détails ont été pensés pour valoriser le bien.

In the historic city of St Albans lies our signature Lay-On Shaker style, offering a refined, elegant profile throughout the home. We had the pleasure of collaborating with interior designer Briony from Reyne Design, whose artistic flair and eye for detail brought an added layer of creativity to this multi-room project. The approach to colour, texture and flow of the rooms complements our craftsmanship, resulting in many spaces feeling both elevated and effortlessly cohesive. The design process was a true collaboration, with ideas flowing seamlessly between Briony, our team, and the client, each bringing their own vision and insight to create a truly bespoke result. For the kitchen, the main event, we worked with a U-shaped configuration, although the worktops are designed in an L-shape, the cabinetry is built around the walls for an uninterrupted flow and to bring the U-shaped layout. At the centre is a generous island with a social spot and plenty of prep space. The whole project was designed to add colour to the property, and the help of Plimsoll by Paint & Paper Library (a deep uncut blue) and Brinjal by Farrow & Ball (a sophisticated aubergine) were just the right contrast and drama for the kitchen. Placed under the window is the sink area, a sleek modern statement in its own right, combining practicality with bold design. The pairing of the Caple Black Steel sink and the Quooker Flex tap in Matt Black delivers an effortless style with high functionality. Amongst the cabinetry, there is plenty of our walnut signature construction, enhanced by thoughtful organisation details such as cutlery inserts, spice racks and integrated butler trays. Other details include solid oak chopping boards and a towel rail, stained in chocolate to elevate everyday functionality. One of the standout storage features is the walk-in pantry, discreetly set within the run of floor-to-ceiling cabinetry that bends elegantly around the corners, and the pantry larder is the kind of smart storage you never knew you needed, but now couldn’t imagine living without. Every detail is considered from the bank of appliances to the custom-finished extractor housing in Liquid Metal Weather Worn Bronze. This adds another touch of luxury, like the Santorini Quartz and Corston Milliner bronze hardware. From the hidden chilled drinks fridge to the exposed wine cooler, the kitchen island has it all, effortlessly blending a new level of convenience to modern kitchen living. The Dining Space The dining area seamlessly connects to the kitchen within the open-plan layout, creating a cohesive and inviting space for both everyday living and relaxed entertaining. This focal point of a bespoke bench-style banquette is carefully hand-built to offer generous seating and smart storage, accommodating a few more guests. Finished in the same Plimsoll shade by Paint & Paper Library as the main kitchen cabinetry, the banquette ties in effortlessly with the overall palette, enhancing the sense of flow throughout the space. For added comfort and visual interest, the seating is topped with a striped, padded cushion, bringing a soft, tailored touch to the area. Hidden beneath are push-to-open drawers, offering discreet and practical storage, ideal for stowing away linen, tablecloths, board games, and so much more. A solid planked oak table completes the dining zone, stained in a rich chocolate finish to echo the timber accents throughout the kitchen. It’s supported by industrial-style black metal butterfly legs, adding a contemporary edge that contrasts beautifully with the softness of the seating. This warm, welcoming dining space becomes an integral part of this thoughtfully designed home.

Notre équipe Lilloise a récemment livré un projet de rénovation d’appartement acheté en VEFA pour accueillir un jeune couple et leurs deux filles. On vous fait visiter ? La rénovation intérieure ne s’arrête pas uniquement à l’ancien. Depuis plusieurs années, nos équipes sont de plus en plus sollicitées pour intervenir dans des constructions neuves. Nos missions sur ce type de projet sous souvent les mêmes : optimiser les espaces, créer des rangements et apporter personnalité et cachet. Les propriétaires de ce duplex situé en périphérie de Lille nous ont fait confiance pour créer un intérieur qui leur ressemble. Longeant le canal de la Deûle, cet appartement traversant de 110m² bénéficie d’une double exposition idéale. Pour répondre aux souhaits des propriétaires, notre architecte a imaginé des espaces aux couleurs pop telles que le bleu, le jaune ou l’orange. Porte verrière dans l’entrée, cuisine avec îlot et coin repas banquette, menuiseries semi-mesure, papiers peints panoramiques illustrés, salle de bain terreuse et coin bureau viennent sublimer ce bien dans lequel on se sent particulièrement bien.

The before and after images show the transformation of our extension project in Maida Vale, West London. The family home was redesigned with a rear extension to create a new kitchen and dining area. Light floods in through the skylight and sliding glass doors by @maxlightltd by which open out onto the garden. The bespoke banquette seating with a soft grey fabric offers plenty of room for the family and provides useful storage.
