This is the second home this client has engaged me to help them with, but this home is a very different look to their previous one. Intimate knowledge of the clients taste and of their furnishings from their previous home meant that I could help them to work these into their new, more contemporary interior. The goal was to create a forever family home; somewhere great for entertaining, but also lovely for day to day living both inside and out. The client and I worked together closely from the outset of the project to ensure all the layouts worked. We worked together on all the finishes from tiles, carpets, paints, exterior finishes, flooring, lighting etc right through to overseeing curtain making and installation at the end of the build as well as soft furnishings. From time to time, we are still working on various small additions and finishing touches to the project; a home is always evolving.

The clients also worked closely with their architect throughout the project, with many bespoke items such as cedar window shutters, stunning white steelwork on the staircase, raking timber ceilings amongst many other beautiful, architectural features throughout the home. The site is sloping and the architect has thoughtfully designed the home to follow these contours as you travel throughout the house. Despite the level changes, the home is generally a single storey home other than the stand alone master suite at the top of the house. The angles of the building’s exterior roofline correspond in the interior to create interesting and intimate spaces.

An amazing builder with a real eye for detail completed the set. Projects like this really are a team effort and input from all channels; architect, builder and interior designer have really helped to bring this home together and to achieve the stunning and unique finished result.

Detailing is key in every aspect of the home. From the stunning handblown glass pendants in the upper stair well to the cedar ceilings that transition from the exterior to the interior of the home and beautifully set off the American oak floors throughout the kitchen, dining and hallway spaces.

Set around a courtyard layout with a sparkling swimming pool and spa, this stunning architecturally designed St Heliers home makes the homeowners love of entertaining effortless and enjoyable.
