81 The studio is headed by the creative director, Martin Neal’on, who oversees a team of time served professionals to cover all aspects of the design process to ensure that the function, aesthetic and technical implementation of the interior are carried out as a co-ordinated response to the clients brief. The company centres its work in the UK but has undertaken commissions all over the World. Our ability to understand a clients aspirations and transform the brief into a working concept allows us to respond to a worldwide clientele offering timeless interiors that transcend the zeitgeist of current fashions in favour of timeless elegance. Our portfolio is testament to the standards we achieve and our work is generated by reputation. Whilst we don’t publish a list of our clients out of respect for their privacy we can say our client list is extensive and that over the years we have worked for many well known entrepreneurs, celebrities and sports personalities. On this project the client asked us to re design a 1960’s bungalow as they wanted to use it as a weekend retreat for themselves and the children. As part of the brief we knew we could not increase the footprint of the building substantially due to the strict planning laws in place in the Lake District so it was imperative the design took full advantage of the available area to maximise the living space.
