The original timber floors, high ceilings and restored cornices remained central to the design, while a more restrained Japandi influence brought warmth, natural materials and a quieter rhythm to the interiors. Tatler describes the result as a balance between Victorian sophistication and Japandi simplicity.
Our role was to create joinery that felt naturally connected to both.
In the sitting room, we recreated a symmetrical pair of bookcases, providing a considered backdrop for artwork and objects collected by the homeowner during their travels.
Under the main staircase, we designed a more technical piece of joinery. Three wine fridges sit alongside custom cabinetry with angled drawers, integrated ventilation and LED lighting. It turns an otherwise easily overlooked area into a practical space for entertaining, while keeping the detailing clean and integrated. The kitchen was also designed by Cor Domi, using earthy tones and generous proportions to sit comfortably within the wider scheme.
For us, this project is a good example of what thoughtful joinery can do. It does not always need to be the loudest element in a room. Sometimes the best work is what makes everything around it feel more considered.
We’re delighted to see the project recognised by Tatler Asia and to have our work featured as part of this thoughtful renovation.
