How would you describe your style?
"Rachel's design approach is to work with a palette of layers and texture, mixing materiality and preferring to use natural tones and highly textured surface finishes that create a balanced and calming space."

"In a recent luxury residential office project, the key requirements within the brief were to create a space for focused and inspirational thoughts. Our design team understood and identified these needs, acknowledging the numerous benefits of carving out a space within the home for remote working. Our skilled designers produced detailed drawings and specification packages to ensure that our bespoke vision would be implemented by our contractors to the highest standard; Spatial plans and joinery elevations were key to the success of this design.
The integral tactile elements such as the desk chair, carpet and curtains were seamlessly combined with lighting at various levels, to create an inviting atmosphere. The Flos Superloon effortlessly provided a sense of warmth as well as an abundance of ambience, illuminating the space with a soft, even glow from a beautifully designed, architectural structure. The high-end joinery walls were crafted to ensure interaction felt seamless, with push to open draws and an integrated ladder, able to effortlessly slide across the full set of joinery, even through a corner, providing easy access to the upper storage and display units. High-end finishes were utilised throughout with dawn mist quilted maple veneers, mixed with graphite stained oak and bespoke burnished black steel handles."
