We design homes. We design for people who may already have chosen apartments, houses, boats or even boltholes to act out some aspect of their dreams. Our commitment is to help in this realization. The contents play the major part. Whether old or new they can stimulate the intellect and appeal to the emotions.
We use antiques and artifacts from many different cultures and periods, not for their nostalgia but through careful juxtaposition they can excite one another, become re-energized and relevant in the present. I set up my studio twenty years ago. I needed the freedom to work in any style that suited the clients, the architecture and the brief.
We have achieved that freedom as can be seen in this small sample of our work. Our studio is small, deliberately so. Our combined experience is wide. I was an architect before joining Colefax and Fowler, The UK's principal firm of traditional decoration, ending up as managing director. We work all over the globe, America, Japan, Continental Europe and the UK.

Our approach to refurbishing traditional architecture is to create a bridge between what exists and the values of our time. We choose furniture of the 20th century to sit alongside antiques from various periods. The same approach extends towards art and artefacts. Our modern interiors are inclined to make use of the existing architecture but are designed and detailed with a modern context.
Regardless of style, age or size, a home should be a place of refuge, a private space in which we can feel truly comfortable, whether spending time on our own or entertaining friends. Above all, it should be a place of our own making, filled with the books, furniture and other cherished objects that say so much about who we are.
