Berkshire Renovation by Q Design House

Q Design House has been shortlisted for Living Space – UK Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.

This project involved a complete design and build renovation, Q Design House were brought in to create a light and airy interpretation of a traditional English home in Berkshire for clients who recently moved from Hong Kong.  To achieve this, Q Design House used contrast between light and dark to brighten the spaces and incorporated traditional joinery details such as panelling in the entrance hall, a typical panelled gentleman’s room home office, a shaker kitchen and fully marble bathroom complete with marble beading.

Each traditional aspect was uplifted with contemporary elements to create a brighter and modernised scheme. For example, timber flooring was modernised by using a brighter tone and laid in a herringbone pattern with a border. The designers were playful with colours using a dark navy contrasted with natural exposed oak details in the kitchen and dark green panelling paired with a tan leather sofa in the study. Even a burgundy home bar with antique mirroring created a fun element in the games room.

The team at Q Design House managed the interior design, interior architecture and build of the project for a complete renovation. This collaborative approach allowed them to ensure a cohesive finish across the project from striking joinery to soft tones and interesting textures in the fabrics. Each aspect was carefully considered to relate back to the clients brief for a traditional English home, with all the comfort and warmth that that brings, but with the added contemporary feel of a light and airy home.
