Our - customer - Stuart & Fiona

A beautiful coastal location was the perfect backdrop to this striking new build home. A unique structured architectural design, featuring multiple angles and levels, with an open courtyard garden. The design needed to create a harmony between the clean edges and contemporary feel of the building and the desire for a calming, coastal-inspired atmosphere.

What was the brief?

Our client dreamt of a modern, elegant space that would be equally soothing in indoor and outdoor areas. Combining coastal charm with contemporary chic, this new build property pairs a seaside colour palette with an angular, structured design.

Our design solution

Mandolin Grey porcelain tiles have the versatility to be used across indoor and outdoor areas, ensuring a flawless, uninterrupted cohesion throughout the home. In the courtyard a Foras Fusion water feature made a magnificent centrepiece, and we worked closely with the client to create a bespoke open water design. At the entrance, bespoke drain covers were cut into the Mandolin Grey to create a seamless finish.
Inside, the soft grey tone of the tiles complemented the neutral colour of the kitchen cabinetry, offering a clean canvas for the client to personalise their open plan space with brightly coloured furniture.
In the master bedroom, we continued with natural tones using a textured decorative tile in a neutral colourway contrasted with the whitewashed wood effect of Serena Fog porcelain, creating an elegant coastal aesthetic.
While the majority of the home is designed to invoke a feeling of relaxation and calm, in the downstairs cloakroom, a sense of whimsy replaced serenity. Here, imagination runs wild: we incorporated Monkey Puzzle patterned tiles, pairing them with a complementary wallpaper, and completed the design with bright blue brick tiles. This bold combination brought a burst of colour and personality to the space, demonstrating how a well-placed "pop of colour" can bring life and character to even the calmest of homes.
