I love colour and when a client loves it too, it's a perfect match. Here's a recently installed kitchen project where I worked with to make the door fronts and countertop. Bold use of colour that pops ❤️

What makes this space so satisfying?
Proportions, materials, use of space or how it transforms from one use to another by moving the furniture?
This traditional Japanese tatami room in the Yamagataya Hotel in Gero was a delight to stay in for all of the above.

One of the many reasons I do what I do is the satisfaction of combining designing a better use of space with the client's happiness whilst working with a great brand.

Let gravity do the work. I find self levelling compound fascinating. Here it is in action in my latest project in the Golden Lane Estate, London

A Fresh Start for 2026 ☀️ -

I hope you’ve had a chance to rest a little, reflect and maybe even sneak in some decluttering — or at least think about it. I always find that January gives me a moment to pause and consider: is my home or workspace supporting the way I want to live, or is it quietly holding me back?

From the Source: Flooring with Encore Reclamation

Are you a carpet person or a floorboard person? And when is it better to restore what’s already there rather than replace it completely? Personally I’m a floorboard person.

Restoring floorboards can cost a third of replacement, keep original character (especially in Victorian homes, which is one in four in East London) and cause less disruption if you’re living through the works.

Replacement opens up choices like engineered wood or reclaimed parquet — but at higher cost and upheaval.

In my reuse project I uncovered a very typical 1970s mix - old floorboards, manky carpet, asbestos tiles and vinyl. While my aim is to reuse as much as possible, some things had to go - rotting carpet and toxic tiles to be precise. A win however, was finding perfectly good floorboards hidden under the carpet but unfortunately only in the living room.

My challenge was working out how to match the discovered wooden flooring with a similar material throughout the space. This is where working with trusted suppliers mattered. Encore Reclamation are specialists in reclaimed timber flooring, sourcing boards with real character. They’ve supplied projects as diverse as Turner Contemporary Gallery and Boxpark Shoreditch.

The reclaimed flooring (a sustainable reuse choice) Aldo and his team supplied was a great to match the existing pine.

Anyone dreading going back to the office after a long hot summer of festivals? I’m sure you’re not the only one…

If you’re anything like me, the idea of going “back to work” is a bit daunting. Does your workspace environment make a difference to how you feel about coming back?

For me - the atmosphere, the surroundings, the sense of welcome when you walk through the door — all of it shapes how I feel about being at work.

One recent project that really brought this home for me was the work we did with Our Future Health just after COVID. They were navigating all the same questions:

How do we make the office feel welcoming again, after so long apart?
How do we balance hybrid working with creating a space that feels like a second home?
How do we design flexibly, so the space can grow and adapt as the team expands — and even move with them if needed?

Our Future Health wanted to make everything modular and sustainable, so it could be reused and reconfigured. The result? A workspace that not only met practical needs but also created a warm, inviting environment that made people want to come in.

I’d love to hear from you what makes a workplace somewhere you actually want to be?
