A selection of homes across London, from whole-house renovations to focused design consultations. Each project starts with the architecture of the house and the way the people in it actually live. From there it's about getting the layout right, letting the light do its work, and choosing materials that age well: timber, plaster, stone and linen, mixed with antique pieces and good contemporary furniture. Some of these homes I designed from the first site visit to the last picture being hung. Others needed clear direction at the right moment. All of them are meant to feel settled, personal and built to last.
