REferencing the earthy glamour of 1970s Morocco, with soft lime washed paints, handmade tiles, layers of shag and a touch of bling,

THIS HOME WAS A RARE EXPERIENCE. THE JOY OF WORKING WITH FRIENDS WHO SHARE THE SENSORY AND EMOTIONAL PHILOSOPHY OF OUR STUDIO, WITH THE TRUST TO FOLLOW OUR ORGANIC PROCESS TO ITS NATURAL EVOLUTION.

USING TEXTURED AND METALLIC PAINT FINISHES TO HIGHLIGHT THE HOME'S ARCHITECTURAL FORMS, WE CREATED DISTINCT TRANSITIONS BETWEEN LIVING, DINING, BATHING AND SLEEPING ZONES.

COMPLEMENTED BY LUXE BRASS AND VINTAGE GLASS LIGHTING, WE REARRANGED AND ENHANCED OUR CLIENT'S EXISTING FURNISHINGS WITH CAREFULLY SOURCED LOCAL AND VINTAGE WARES, INTEGRATING INDUSTRIAL FIXTURES WITH HANDMADE FINISHES AND RICH COLOURS.

We believe the key ingredients required to achieve transformation are already present within an organisation or a space, but may need to be re-seen.
