Inspired by the property’s seaside location and the clients’ love for turquoise hues, this home was designed with family in mind. Pfeiffer Design was involved in bringing this fabulous project to fruition for their clients who had outgrown their existing house, situated in one of Brighton’s most loved residential enclaves, with a spectacular view to the sea and close access to the South Downs. The decision to extend, create a second floor and refurbish the entire home was not one the clients undertook lightly, especially with three young children.

The brief was to improve the existing space, creating cohesion and flow between the interior spaces and provide much needed usable space for all the family to enjoy. The challenge and opportunity for this project was to combine the dynamic and contemporary architecture with interior design suitable for family life. This meant practicalities and function as well as style and innovation were at the forefront of all design decisions.

The internal layout of the primary, spacious and interlinked rooms needed to be designed to create not only wonderful entertaining areas, but ensure these rooms are versatile and still feel intimate, welcoming and comfortable for the family to relax in, throughout the seasons. The ethos for Pfeiffer Design as interior designers is that family homes should be designed with family  life at the forefront of every decision made, and that the spaces reflect the lives of a busy family with growing children whose needs will evolve over time.
