Useful interior design

Much like slow food or good clothes the places we live, work, meet & shop in can be made with care and enjoyed over time.

We prioritise keeping existing above building new, use time and material resourcefully, and design interior space to work, look good, wear-well and adapt: the opposite of fashionable & disposable.

 

For everyone & any space
Work with cultural and commercial clients, homeowners, shopkeepers, start-ups and anyone with a building and a question: all types and scale of project, same pragmatic, uncomplicated approach.

Utility commercial nd cultural clients

How it works
Collaboratively & flexibly.

Directly with clients, start to finish or discrete stages, specialist interior input for architects & developers and technical advice for project teams. Or something else? Always open to a new way of doing things.

Whatever the scope it starts with a conversation, a site visit, gathering a brief and looking at all options to align ambition with practicalities.

If you have something in mind send a quick message & we’ll see how we can help.
