Bedrooms are really personal... some of our client Bedrooms are really personal... some of our clients like them dark, some light, some prefer them quiet, some removed. Sometimes parents like to be close to their children, whilst some prefer a little distance! 

Ensuites and dressing areas are also important connections - with each client having different preferences on facility and proximity.

“This Primary School project is a great example “This Primary School project is a great example of how Jonathan and his team can create an amazingly well designed and functional public space, which is original and wonderfully playful.

On this first project we worked with the excellent @studio.skey where the living area is focused around the fabulous views across the lake and the pool terrace. In this first house, there is also a second snug living room which focuses a very relaxing sofa around a large TV - which is often just as important!
