The brief was to create a luxurious but comfortable home for a large family who love to entertain. We gutted and extended the house, re configuring the spaces throughout. We were asked to design an impressive entrance space with glamorous marble floor leading to a formal dining room beyond. A set of marble stairs leads down to the large bespoke Macassar wood kitchen and breakfast area, opening on to the family media room to the rear and out into the small courtyard garden which features an enclosed underground spiral wine cellar, living wall and water feature. On the ground floor, there is a generous entrance hall with Calacatta marble floor and bespoke marble chimneypiece. From this level the new stained oak and bronze stair leads up past a chic dark blue bookcase lined study on the mezzanine and up to a large first floor reception room with bespoke marble chimneypiece opening onto an elegantly mirrored bar with a small decked roof terrace overlooking the garden below. The Master suite occupies the whole the second floor. The bedroom features fabric walling, bespoke bedhead and carefully designed nightstands. We also designed a sliding mirror to conceal the television. The joinery is dark grey brown stained oak with upholstered panels and bronze trims. The large master bathroom was carefully designed to the clients brief with polished chrome, Calacatta Oro marble, big mirrors and huge glass enclosed shower. On the third floor are two of the children’s rooms with chic grey striped Chinchilla marble en-suite bathroom and there are two further bedrooms with en suite shower rooms on the topmost floor. Much of the furniture throughout was bespoke including the dining table, chairs and sideboard, the marble table and banquette in the kitchen, the master bedroom furniture ,the chair and stool in the study as well as several rugs.
