This shower stall niche is great for soaps & cacti but it's also home to concealed lighting which shows off the character tilework

Part of a wider renovation, the feature beam ceiling in this master bedroom appears here as an extension of the decorative wall joinery

For this dramatic bathroom, a dazzling starburst chandelier was converted to low voltage to meet local building code for use over the tub

For this crisp charcoal and white kitchen, the ceiling-mounted Siemens rangehood is disguised through the choice of a mirrored housing

Warm, natural toned finishes give this bathroom retreat a biophilic feel – crowned with a cascade of greenery from a bespoke planter
