Expertise

What we design, build and install.

Four areas carry most of the work and have a page of their own. Four more come as part of the same project and are described in full further down this page.

Part of the same project

Four more, explained here in full.

These do not have a page of their own. Rather than leave them as a line in a list, here is what each one actually involves.

Bathrooms

Primary suites, powder rooms and wellness bathrooms, where the plumbing is planned before the stone is cut.

Bathrooms punish improvisation more than any other room, because everything is wet, everything is heavy and nothing can be moved afterwards. We set out the stone, the drainage and the lighting on one drawing, so the slab veining lands where you will actually see it and the vanity does not fight the waste pipe.

What it includes

  • Slab layout drawn against the veining of the actual stone
  • Custom vanity built in our shop
  • Lighting planned for the mirror, not just the ceiling

Furniture design

Pieces drawn to the proportions of your room and built with ateliers we have worked with for years, in the United States and Europe.

This is the one area where we do not build in our own shop, and we prefer to say so plainly. Upholstery and casegoods are specialist crafts, and we work with ateliers who do nothing else. We draw the piece, specify the frame, the fill and the fabric, and hold the maker to the drawing.

What it includes

  • Scaled drawings against your actual room dimensions
  • Frame, fill and fabric specified, not left to the maker
  • Ateliers in the United States and Europe we have worked with for years

Wallcoverings

From quiet textures to a single wall that carries a room, specified to sit with the architecture rather than against it.

A wallcovering is a finish decision that behaves like a structural one, because it sets the tone of everything placed in front of it. We select it alongside the millwork and the stone, in the same light, at the same time, and never from a screen.

What it includes

  • Selection made in the same light as the millwork and stone
  • Supply and installation by trades we work with regularly

Appliances

Refrigeration, cooking, ventilation and built ins, coordinated with the cabinetry before the first panel is cut.

Appliances are where a kitchen quietly goes wrong. A fridge chosen late is fifteen millimetres too deep, an extractor is specified after the ceiling is drawn, a panel ready door turns out not to be panel ready in that finish. We fix the specification at the start, and the cabinetry is drawn around it.

What it includes

  • Specification fixed before the cabinetry is drawn
  • Ventilation routes confirmed against the actual building
  • Panel ready units verified in the finish you chose

Furniture is the one thing we do not build ourselves, and we say so plainly. Everything else on this page is drawn in Miami, made in our shop and installed by our own team.
