Inside the character house, spaces and finishes were crying out for remodelling and renewal, which included wall panel detailing, combined with a carefully selected colour palette and elegant fittings throughout.

We and our clients are thrilled with the combined team effort and the result is a striking home to be enjoyed and appreciated for the years ahead.
