Project Summary:
The design journey celebrated Welsh heritage, blending traditional and contemporary elements inspired by Pembrokeshire's landscapes. Restoring four properties, the focus was on preserving rustic allure with modern comforts, creating serene retreats immersed in nature. Challenges included balancing restoration with contemporary touches, optimising space, and maintaining harmony across properties. Attention to detail, bespoke joinery, and local materials ensured authenticity and elegance. The commitment to intentionality extended to eco-friendly practices, such as using local materials and upgrading insulation. The result exceeded expectations, offering luxurious holiday rentals that honour Welsh tradition while providing comfort and sustainability.
