Rosewood  
Interior

A 1930s semi-detached house with modern extension.
 

Brief - Pretty, simple, modern, uncluttered earth colours with rustic touches. Sympathetic blending of modern extension with original building & 1930s references.

  Lakeside Cottage  
Interior & Garden

A modernised Arts & Crafts cottage on the shore of Lake Windermere with small garden.   
 

Brief - Warm, welcoming and comfortable, mitigating the effect of a profusion of orange pine on all interior doors and cupboards,  and a loss of period features.  Pull together existing mismatch of furniture to make it work without replacing.  Nothing too clean and sterile. Design not to look designed. Pretty cottage garden with year-round evergreen structure.
