An open plan kitchen and dining space links the inside and outside. The clean lines in terms of architecture and spatial planning has allowed us to play with different paint colours and dual worktop materials. In some cases the result could be confusing, but in this example due to the simplicity of design it creates a space full of personality and layers of interest.

The flush-mounted venting hob on the island is almost invisible, but allows for sociable cooking and easy cleaning. The double pantry/breakfast cupboard serves the dining area with disrupting the main cooking zone. The functions of cooling and cooking are neatly stored in the classic green bank of tall units. Brass detailing for handles, hinges, lighting and stools mixed with black metal brassware and dresser elevates the overall palette.

The generous master suite encompasses the same design philosophy combining simplicity with beautiful materials. Handmade hexagonal Moroccan cement tiles in petal pink with a brass inlay form the backdrop of the large walk-in shower. The matte white free-standing bath provides an ultimate luxury bathing experience. Again, we have mixed brass finishes in the taps, hinges and accessories with matte black lighting, radiators and mirrors to combine materials and interest.
