“I can be my best self in this house. I can find soft corners for contemplation,

inspirational

walls of pattern and colour and indulgent Italian marble for a touch of luxury... Mine is now a home full of colour, character and warmth.”

communication with a large difficult family, meeting everyone’s wants. Can not thank them enough for all their support and effort they give for our family holiday home.”

Our Philosophy

We believe that designing living space is deeply personal.

At Space A we pride ourselves on the quality of our service. To us, every project is a journey where we foster strong relationships with the people we work with. We see our role as guiding and collaborating with our clients to find a spatial character that really speaks to them.

We are fascinated by the ritual of everyday life so our design process begins with the practicalities of human routines. Our spaces have got to have soul and connect personally to the person/people using them. We draw from contextual, historic,

personal or idiosyncratic factors that make a place and building special.

We always use nature and natural materials in our work - assembled sustainably. We always seek a sense of harmony in the proportions and balance in colour tones. We also love rich colour and pattern and its ability to conjure a rainbow of emotions.

We value trust in our practice. We value the importance of fostering a great dialogue with our clients throughout the design and delivery process.
