The interiors of our four-storey Victorian renovation combine stained oak, concrete, and lime plaster, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. The kitchen, showcasing solid oak cabinetry and cast in situ concrete worktops, occupies the heart of the house.

We’re thrilled to share that our Putney project was featured in the December issue of Grand Designs Magazine. One of the biggest challenges was to re-establish the connection with the history of the house. We looked at preserving any elements of character as found.
After removing the wallpaper, 80% of the plaster behind was affected by damp. Carefully, we removed the damaged sections and completed the missing parts with new lime plaster, that complements the old.
On the external walls, where no original plaster remained, we used the opportunity to insulate the property internally.
A heartfelt thank you to our amazing clients for being part of this journey. Thank you, @granddesignstv !

A calm and warm interior.
The ground floor was extended to incorporate a kitchen, dining, living and reception room. In such an elongated plan, the main challenge was enhancing the connection with the garden and maximising natural light. We did not use the side return to fully extend, but rather to invite the garden towards the middle of the house.

In our Putney project, the kitchen design combines oak—stained to echo the deep hues of Sri Lankan wood—with raw concrete and plaster, paying homage to the homeowners’ cultural roots. The handle grips, sleek and geometric, subtly reinforce the space’s quiet elegance.

The design centers around the homeowners’ needs, enhancing flow and functionality while creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. At dusk, the kitchen becomes a gathering space, perfect for sharing stories around the dining table.
