What our customers say about us…
Project Portfolio
Fully Bespoke Staircase Replacement & House Improvements
This Winchester townhouse required a fully bespoke oak staircase across six levels and landings — each flight different in shape and proportion — complete with a glass balustrade system and handcrafted decorative joinery throughout.
Bespoke Bookcase & Library Project
This project required a fully bespoke, floor-to-ceiling solid oak library wall. Our team meticulously scribed the cabinetry to integrate with the room’s period ceiling and radiator, creating a seamless, architectural fit that frames the doorway while maximizing storage.
Fully Bespoke Seating & Storage Solution
This project delivered a fully bespoke seating and storage solution. We crafted a custom banquette featuring integrated, sage-green drawers for practical storage, topped with a richly textured olive seat cushion. The result is a handcrafted comfort and functional design.
Bespoke Oak Staircase Project With Lighting Installation
We delivered a bespoke solid oak staircase featuring integrated LED tread lighting for a warm, dramatic effect. We also designed and installed custom, flush-fitting under-stair storage to maximise utility, with a minimalist glass balustrade providing a cohesive, modern finish.
Bespoke Joinery & Sliding Door For Home Office
This project delivered a bespoke home office and utility solution. Our team crafted a custom desk and cabinetry, incorporating a secret sliding mirror door that discreetly conceals a utility room while maximising space and functionality.
Cupboard & Bespoke Joinery
Bespoke cabinetry designed to perfectly fit an awkward architectural space. We utilised a striking blue finish paired with modern brass hardware to create a sophisticated, tailored storage solution.
Fully Bespoke Oak Kitchen
We delivered a fully bespoke oak kitchen featuring precision-crafted dovetail joints and custom cabinetry. The design highlights natural oak finishes, seamlessly integrating a modern range cooker to create a cohesive, durable, and functional workspace.
Outdoor Seating & Decking Project
This project delivered a bespoke outdoor seating and decking solution. Our team constructed a high-quality timber deck featuring integrated lighting for an inviting atmosphere. We also designed and installed a custom, L-shaped bench with built-in storage.
