Project Summary:
The project's design narrative blends Edwardian and mid-century influences, creating an elegant, yacht-inspired space with rich blues and nautical themes. Innovation addressed unique pool house challenges, including wet environments and limited natural light, with washable rugs and faux windows. Visual impact centred on harmonising Cambridge and Oxford blues throughout both floors, with repeated design elements reinforcing cohesion. Functionality was ensured with tailored areas for various activities, like a curved bar and space-efficient gym. Client satisfaction was high, praising the cohesive vision and meticulous execution. Craftsmanship was evident in joinery and finishes, with sustainability prioritised through durable materials and local sourcing.
