A relaxing retreat worthy of its beautiful setting.

We worked collaboratively with the builders and client on this substantial renovation of this home. Stripping away and transforming this house into a relaxing retreat worthy of its beautiful setting and creating a home.

We were responsible for the kitchen and bathroom design, interior finishes throughout as well as the furnishings and furniture. 
This home needed to be versatile – for family & entertaining, both formal & casual – as well as a comfortable private sanctuary.
