Our unique role as the interior architect in your renovation

Interior design is often associated with finishes.

But in a renovation, the role is usually much broader.

We worked on a back-to-brick project for a family in an Edwardian house in Poole, where the kitchen space felt constrained and dominated by an existing chimney breast.

Rather than working around it, we proposed something more considered.

We removed the chimney at ground level — while retaining and supporting the decorative element above for planning — and introduced a rotated glass extension, with a structural column set away from the corner to allow the glazing to flow cleanly.

The result was a space that connected naturally from the existing house through to the garden, with far better light and movement.

This is where architectural thinking becomes important.

Not just how a space looks, but how it is structured, how it flows, and how it performs.

We’re often involved in both — interior and architectural — because the two are closely linked.

It also means clients don’t need to coordinate separate teams, which can simplify the process significantly.

We still collaborate closely with structural and M&E engineers — but the overall vision is held in one place.

And that’s often where the real value sits.
