Set behind a lush mangrove, Menjaga Bay is a small twenty suite resort on the Komodo Island of Flores. A long, undulating pontoon was created to accommodate several of the water suites and, at the end of the jetty, the indispensable sunset bar. Other suites are situated on elevated grounds to enjoy the stunning views on the numerous islands and traditional boats exploring the area.
The project aims to implant itself respectfully within the jungle and seascape, allowing the visitor to enjoy the unique landscape and views. The project is divided between land and sea villas, and draws the visitor into engaging and enjoying both habitats in a relaxing retreat.
The villas are oriented in such a way that privacy is granted and with that, the feeling of being completely immersed in nature. The abundant vegetation enriches the experience, and the spacious communal areas are dimensioned in such a way that they allow space for the user to relax.

Perched above the prestigious Sperone Golf Club on the southernmost tip of Corsica, Villa G is designed around 5 individual pavilions set in the existing olive grove and separated by fragrant gardens and courtyards. This is an example of enhanced outdoor living, especially with its vast terrace, overlooking a 25m pool and the Island of Sardegna in the distance.
The series of villas that form the complex respond to their context, using local stone and wood on their facades, integrating the grove into their courtyards and working with the slope by setting the different spaces in levels to maximise the visuals. The outcome is a series of delicate, serene, and airy residences with character.

Hidden behind an ancient brick wall in Richmond Park, this bespoke house was designed to fulfil its owners’ dreams. Set in a large private garden, with views over one of London’s largest and wildest parks, the house included an indoor swimming pool, a vast play basement and generous entertainment spaces on the first floor to optimize the views. The project was undertaken from pre-planning to completion, including its detailed interior designs.
From inception to completion, this project has been a labour of love, with every detail meticulously planned and executed to perfection. From pre-planning to the final flourish of detailed interior designs, no stone has been left unturned in the pursuit of architectural excellence.

A full refurbishment and Interior Design service was offered at the prestigious London address. A careful balance between elegance and opulence was the client’s brief. This was achieved with a careful selection of materials and detailing, working together with specialised makers in defining every detail to reflect the client’s profile.
This project allowed the integration and alignment of Interior Design features such as lighting and furnishing into the architecture, and allowing for decisions that would have been made at different times, to be all part of the same process.
The high-quality architectural finishes were selected as a complimentary, neutral palette to facilitate the more modern soft finishes. The combination of traditional style detailing with modern materials and design layouts lent to a neo-classical proposal throughout. The rich materials and neat details are considered at all scales encompassing all elements of the project.

Cap St Georges was created as a uniquely contemporary villa resort on the west coast of Cyprus. An interplay between traditional local stone walls and rendered white walls resulted in a modern yet warm feeling to these individual seafront houses.
The long stone walls cut through the entire space from front to back and act as the main axis that organises the internal spaces and terraces. It also serves to create privacy between all the gardens.
The local rock and idyllic sea scape inspire the delineating hardscape walls and light open spaces merging the inside with the outside. The modern and minimal detailing celebrates the local materiality and emphasizes the natural elements dictating the seamless amalgamation into the coastal scene.
