Au cœur de la place du Pin à Nice, cet appartement autrefois sombre et délabré a été métamorphosé pour faire entrer la lumière naturelle. Nous avons souhaité créer une architecture à la fois épurée, intimiste et chaleureuse. Face à son état de décrépitude, une rénovation en profondeur s’imposait, englobant la refonte complète du plancher et des travaux de réfection structurale de grande envergure. L’une des transformations fortes a été la dépose de la cloison qui séparait autrefois le salon de l’ancienne chambre, afin de créer un double séjour. D’un côté une cuisine en bois au design minimaliste s’associe harmonieusement à une banquette cintrée, qui elle, vient englober une partie de la table à manger, en référence à la restauration. De l’autre côté, l’espace salon a été peint dans un blanc chaud, créant une atmosphère pure et une simplicité dépouillée. L’ensemble de ce double séjour est orné de corniches et une cimaise partiellement cintrée encadre un miroir, faisant de cet espace le cœur de l’appartement. L’entrée, cloisonnée par de la menuiserie, se détache visuellement du double séjour. Dans l’ancien cellier, une salle de douche a été conçue, avec des matériaux naturels et intemporels. Dans les deux chambres, l’ambiance est apaisante avec ses lignes droites, la menuiserie en chêne et les rideaux sortants du plafond agrandissent visuellement l’espace, renforçant la sensation d’ouverture et le côté épuré.

La salle à manger, entre ambiance "mad men" et esprit vacances, avec son immense placard en noyer qui permet de ranger l'équivalent d'un container ;-) Placard d'entrée, penderie, bar, bibliothèque, placard à vinyles, vaisselier, tout y est !

For this repeat client, we had the honor of tagging along on the owners’ house hunt to advise them on which one we felt had the most potential to align with their desires. We LOVE this Woodside property they chose, with the West facing wall of French doors and high ceilings showing off the expansive green spaces outdoors. The windows and doors bring in loads of natural light making it an inspiring space to hang out with their growing family. The large great room gave us the opportunity to bring in darker woods mixed with light linens, fuzzy boucle, tons of texture, a budding art collection, and mix of contemporary pieces along with unique antiques. The entire home feels sophisticated, timeless yet completely family friendly. We love the mix of moody blues, browns, taupes and creams- creating a space the family will enjoy for years to come.

This project redefines open-plan living through seamless transitions and meticulous detailing. At the heart of the space, slatted wood paneling becomes both a bold design feature and a functional element—concealing doors, power outlets, and dividing environments without losing fluidity. The custom dining table and integrated cabinetry are handcrafted in warm wood tones, creating a natural sense of balance and elegance. A sculptural lighting fixture hovers above the table like an art installation, casting soft ambient light that enhances the mood. The kitchen design follows the same visual rhythm—clean lines, built-in appliances, and a waterfall island in a neutral palette that complements the warm slatted textures. Every corner is considered, every function hidden behind form, delivering a minimalist yet welcoming experience. This is not just a kitchen or dining area—it's a finely orchestrated living environment, where architecture, millwork, and design converge in harmony.

Double-height dining space connecting directly to the rear courtyard via a giant sash window. The dining space also enjoys a visual connection with the reception room above via the open balcony space.

Pour la rénovation de la salle à manger, nous avons rajouté des soubassements qui n'existaient pas du tout pour reprendre les codes anciens des meulières tout en les modernisant avec la peinture bleue et le papier peint panoramique noir et blanc. Les chaises style Empire s'accordent bien avec une nouvelle table en céramique effet marbre et pied bois. Et la belle verrière en chêne avec sa porte vitrée pour marquer le passage avec l'entrée crée également une certaine modernité classique.

Open plan living, where you can entertain the whole family.

This renovation and extension transforms a mid-19th-century Schoolmaster’s House, originally designed by Gothic Revival architect William Butterfield. Built in the 1850s as part of Archdeacon John Sandford’s educational initiative, the building showcases Butterfield’s hallmark use of polychrome brickwork and crafted detail. Research supported by the Alvechurch Historical Society, The Bromsgrove Society, and the Hive Archives – together with the discovery of original drawings – revealed the building’s original fabric and informed our design strategy. The scheme balances historic sensitivity with contemporary living. Unsympathetic late-20th-century alterations were removed to restore clarity, while new interventions create light, proportion, and connection to the garden. The extension draws inspiration from Butterfield’s brick patterns, its distinct yet referential form enhanced by a frameless corner window. At the centre of the design, the former courtyard becomes the heart of the home. Original brickwork and an arched door are revealed, their patina preserved, with natural stone flooring referencing the historic surface. Elsewhere, a historic entrance has been reinstated, and a brick arch within the chimney exposed, now closed with weathered copper. High-performance insulation and triple glazing improve comfort and energy efficiency. The result is both restoration and reinvention – a respectful dialogue between past and present, creating a home rooted in history and ready for the future.

Dining room update and makeover

A tired, small 1970's house was refurbished and extended to become a modern, light-filled, sunny family home. The original house didn't take advantage of its leafy, expansive site, so the extension pushed north and opened up to the sun and outdoors. Living areas flow onto spacious, sunny outdoor areas to the north, and a generous hallway flows through to a new pool and the mature, leafy trees of the neighbouring park. A strong, geometric form sits wide on the site and its pitched roof creates open, airy, light-filled interior spaces. High windows give glimpses of the sky and surrounding trees, and side windows provide a green, leafy outlook to the reserve next door. A muted but rich finishes palette and carefully designed cabinetry complement the lofty architecture. This busy young family can now live and thrive in their beautifully spacious, well-functioning home.
