Mark and Amanda have been involved in the complete renovation of our home from the very start. They took time to understand what we were looking to achieve, and what was really important to us and saw us through the complicated listed building planning process. They also designed the interior, bathrooms, kitchen and central staircase, overseeing local craftsmen to ensure the end product would be sympathetic with the overall design of the house. We are absolutely delighted with the end result, and could not have done it without Stewart & Stewart Design.

A Grade II listed cottage in splendid rural isolation was in great need of modernisation and extension but without losing the historic character of the building. The project involved a ‘roof off’ whole house refurbishment, reconfiguration and restoration as well as the addition of a contemporary kitchen/living room to the rear and new garage/studio annex.

We were also retained to design the interiors and furniture including a new bespoke kitchen, bathrooms, contemporary staircase and storage and we worked with local craftsmen to help realise the project on site. A simple but elegant palette of oak and polished concrete floors was introduced to emphasise a sense of openness and continuity through the ground floor reception rooms which are now flooded with natural light from new roof lights above the staircase and first floor landing.
