London Courtyard: A Modernist Retreat

Our client desired a seamless indoor-outdoor sanctuary in a compact urban space. We used sculptural forms and a curated palette of bespoke materials to create a private world that feels both expansive and intimately peaceful, extending the living space of the home.

Greenwich roof Garden: An Urban Family Oasis

This project transformed a wasted roof space into a multi-functional sanctuary. The design integrates a custom climbing wall, a soothing water feature, and a fire pit with wrap-around seating, creating a restorative escape for adults and an adventurous play zone for their child.
