A bespoke dressing room for the principal suite of one of our Chelsea mews houses, featured in Homes & Gardens earlier this year.

We used a warm, natural palette throughout the house with oak, linen, softly veined stone and brushed brass, creating interiors that feel luxurious, contemporary and comfortable.

The bespoke joinery follows the roofline and makes use of every inch of the room, with softly curved details and integrated lighting keeping the space calm and cohesive.

We’re currently working on concept designs for a new-build house in the South Downs, exploring how traditional dry-stone construction could be reinterpreted for a contemporary home that references ancient, local building techniques.

Very pleased to see our bedroom selected by as one of their 18 Rooms to Remember for the Homes & Gardens Design Awards 2026.

The room is part of a 20th-century Chelsea mews house, where we wanted the bedroom to feel calm, softly layered and quietly luxurious.

Homes & Gardens have described it as - This bedroom captures architect Nancy Gouldstone’s softer side, with an enveloping yet deliberately low upholstered headboard, muted pinks and sage greens creating a calm, boutique-hotel feel. The designer also carried details between adjoining spaces: the headboard fabric and wooden trim are repeated in the dressing room, giving the scheme a sense of cohesion.
The Readers’ Choice Award is now open for voting — if you like our room, we would be enormously grateful for your vote.

Voting closes Friday 2 October. Link in bio.

A bedroom in a Grade II listed Georgian house, designed to let the good bones of the building breathe.

The generous ceiling heights, arched sash window and wonderful natural light already give the room so much character, so the approach was about working with those qualities rather than competing with them.

The fireplace and all original mouldings and shutters had been lost and was reinstated, giving the room back its original grandeur. The deep shelf of the fireplace has also become a useful place for displaying art, ceramics and objects collected over time.

Bespoke joinery was designed around the proportions of the room, while the rest was kept deliberately relaxed: art, marble, vintage pieces and simple lighting layered against the historic architecture.

A room where the architecture does most of the work.

A whole house, conceived as one idea.
There is something very satisfying about a house where every part feels connected.

The architecture, the kitchen, the joinery, the materials, the light and the garden were all developed as part of the same idea here.

The arches became a recurring language through the project, framing views from one space to the next and giving the new rear elevation its character.

For us, that is the pleasure of working on a house as a whole: being able to shape not just individual rooms, but the way the entire home feels and flows.

Our Hampstead arches house, a sensitive double storey extension (one below ground) to a five storey Victorian house. Behind the polished final photos was over a year of designing, planning and construction on site. Arches may be easy to draw and model in CAD but not so easy to build, waterproof and insulate but with our wonderful builder Bashkim we worked it all out and got it built and our clients are happily enjoying their newly refreshed and improved home.

A little bit of drama tucked behind the hallway.

On the ground floor of this grand Victorian Hampstead home, where the kitchen, dining room and informal living spaces all sit, it made sense to fit in a guest loo too. We concealed it behind a secret door in the hallway wall, so when it is closed you would barely know it was there.

The hallway is all smoky grey greens, so inside we pushed the colour further with a richer, more vivid green, rich marble and bronze details. Small rooms are often the best place to be a little braver.

South Downs House - Study No. 2

We’re exploring a number of different architectural approaches for this new countryside home in the South Downs that’s at concept stage.

This study takes a more monolithic and elemental direction, with strong horizontal forms, deep openings and a restrained palette of rammed earth, timber and concrete made with recycled materials.

Strong horizontal forms, deep openings and a restrained material palette give the house a sense of permanence, while the warmth and texture of the materials keep it closely connected to the landscape.

Architecture & gardens work best when designed together - in one of our Chelsea Mews houses our clients really wanted a light filled space that could look up to a garden terrace. Responding to the constraints of the project involved allowing fresh air to ventilate the new open plan bedroom, dressing room and sunken bath area. We did this by creating two little external lightwells allowing us to reclaim what had been an unloved and unused ground floor terrace (complete with bars on the ceiling) At terrace level we transformed what was an unused and cluttered terrace area into an airy and verdant space replacing the lantern roof lights and void with rooflights.

The simple pleasure of a completed home. In our Grade II listed Georgian townhouse we started with a very sad state affairs with a house that had been neglected and poorly refurbished over decades. Almost every original feature had been stripped out and replaced with poor imitations- plastic fake wood floors, chunky double glazed windows, inappropriate cornicing. Carefully we sourced every tiny detail so that it was authentic to the house’s context and age. Now it just feels like a calm backdrop to the eclectic and warm collection of furniture and beloved objects and plants that fill the room.
