This may have been our happiest project yet – and the sixth we have designed for these wonderful clients across four countries.

A classic historic mansion on the beach at Lyford Cay in the Bahamas, it is a truly beautiful setting for a much-loved family home, filled now with the furniture and paintings that we first brought together almost twenty years ago.  We could never have dreamed, back then, that those mid-century and contemporary pieces would one day find their way to a beach house.  But they have – and the result is one of the most beautiful places that we know.

“One of the most compelling country houses of recent years” Edwin Heathcote, Financial Times

This spectacular rammed earth, new-build country house in rural Wiltshire is composed from the very earth on which it sits. Built on the site of a former brickworks, Todhunter Earle Interiors together with architects Tuckey Design Studio brought together this bold and boundary-pushing residential project, crafted from one of the oldest and most sustainable building materials.

Rammed earth is an ancient construction method that mixes earth with demolition aggregate, water and local limestone fragments. Further materials include reclaimed greenheart oak columns, Chicksgrove limestone plinths, bag-rubbed brick and cedar shingles. The concept for the house emerged from a combination of our clients’ aspirations, the context of the setting, the geology of the site, and the expertise and ambition of a multidisciplinary design team, beginning with Todhunter Earle Interiors.

While designing their house in London, before they even bought the land, we began conversations about creating a house that redefined all traditional concepts of ‘the English Country House’ – how to embrace nature, maximise views, and immerse the house in its landscape but with interiors that are as interesting as they are comfortable. With the interiors, the challenge was to balance the architectural sensibility of the project with the clients’ very textured lives and possessions, while also reversing the traditional country house concept of shutting out the elements by closing the curtains and lighting the fire.

Working alongside Adam Richards Architects and RW Amstrong, we brought this ten bedroom, seven bathroom, listed 17^th century Oxfordshire manor house back to life in spectacular fashion.

This is a project that required real attention to detail throughout as we balanced conservation, restoration and classical architecture with design for imaginative, comfortable, contemporary family living.

The fabrics, colours and textures of this fabulous project really sing, and we are absolutely delighted with the result.

A remarkable new wing was added, adjoining the original part of the house with an orangery style kitchen/breakfast room, octagonal tower and a cantilevered Portland stone staircase leading from a swimming pool beneath the terrace, up through the new living spaces and on to new guest rooms.

Lighting by John Cullen.

Pool and spa complex stonework by Artorius Faber.

The house is set in set in beautiful, rolling parkland and the landscape redesign is by Bradley-Hole Schoenaich.

This luxurious ski-in ski-out family chalet with impressive double height ceilings and windows in vibrant Val d’Isere was designed to be contemporary, airy and chic – and yet to still be extremely comfortable and cosy. We used solid oak panels throughout, instead of the usual reclaimed pine, and paid particularly close attention to joinery finishes, tones, textures and lighting. As is often the case with chalet installs, there were long hours and many touch and go moments trying to avoid imminent heavy snowfall, but everyone is extremely happy with the end result.
