When the client approached us with their vision for a high-specification luxury home, they knew exactly what they wanted: a modern, open-plan living space filled with natural light, contemporary fittings, and a seamless blend of style and function. They envisioned floor-to-ceiling windows, elegant internal arch glass doors, and herringbone wooden flooring throughout the open-plan spaces. The exterior was just as important, with a beautifully landscaped garden and large patio area perfect for entertaining. We were excited to turn their dream into reality, delivering a home that surpassed their expectations.
