Interior Design services
Philip is an associate member of the British Institute of Interior Design (BIID) and trained in London with a leading interior designer before setting up his own studio in 2018.
Clients can choose this interiors service either alongside Philip's architectural work - in which case we provide a 'one stop shop' taking care of everything from property surveys and drawing up and submission of plans to recommending and supplying of all interiors - or as a separate 'stand alone' interiors service.
If interior design work is carried out as part of wider architectural work this means the client can benefit from a unified service, taking a single creative vision from start to finish to ensure how you want to live inside is flawlessly integrated with the building’s architecture. The final result is both right for the place and right for you. Every detail is considered from the outset - down to where plug sockets and light switches would best work for the client.
We also design bespoke items for clients to make sure that the details fit exactly and are unique to you. Our bespoke joinery designs, for example, have included everything from panelling, shelves and storage units to wardrobes and bathroom cabinets. We have also designed chandeliers, lamps and lampshades, personalised fabrics, handles and even rugs!
Whatever the size: for every project, large or small, we emphasise high quality design, an understanding of scale and proportion, intelligent care and attention to detail, and a building and space that feels timeless and appropriate to place. Our approach integrates each property’s location, culture, period and history with the design. Just as no two buildings have the same light, proportions, character, history or personality, no two clients have the same lives, needs, desires, tastes or dreams.
Collaborative and enjoyable: We work closely with our clients to make their vision a reality and take great pleasure in every stage of the process. It’s important that it’s fun, enjoyable and creatively satisfying – for us all!
