The New & Reclaimed Flooring CompanyThree and half hours from London, on the Welsh border, we find the Malvern hills, home to a sprawling country bolt-hole barn conversion.
The property needed a complete renovation and was on a vast scale.
Emma’s clients had bought this gloriously huge barn to relocate from London to embrace a slower pace of life.
Unfortunately, much of the property’s character had been lost through years of ill-considered additions of partition walls, poor glazing and stark flooring, which were simply incompatible with its history.
The scale needed to restore this home to its former glory initially overwhelmed the homeowners.
They chose to work with Emma Kirby Designs to completely rebuild, redesign and remodel the space.
Once the internal partitions were removed, the massive scale of the property created a magnificent space which would make entertaining an absolute joy for both the homeowners and their guests.
The result was spectacular.
The antique floorboards were supplied and installed by us.
Our expert installers know and understand the importance of this carefully sourced solid wood flooring and are masters of their trade.
Artisans of DevizesThis Jersey farmhouse, with sea views and rolling landscapes has been lovingly extended and renovated by Todhunter Earle who wanted to retain the character and atmosphere of the original building. The result is full of charm and features Randolph Limestone with bespoke elements.

Design Interiors LtdOur clients returned to us after 10 years of their completed kitchen design as they had received planning permission to build a new home & wanted us to design, supply & install the new kitchen & utility.
Our designer Noel who worked with them previously was happy to embark on this exciting new project with them. They knew they definitely wanted another contemporary design for the large open kitchen, dining & living area. A seated island for 4 people was a must along with lots of storage, a separate utility room &, a designated drinks area for social occasions as well as a separate games room.
Noel designed mohair door fronts with a dark signature island in Basalt grey & 20mm Quartz worktops. The circular island for seating was designed with 60mm Sparkling white Corian to connect the island to the furniture as-well as create separate cooking & social zones on the island. The plinth line runs along the tall housing to give a hidden aesthetic to the utility room sitting behind it. The built in drinks cabinet with wine fridge is accessible from both the kitchen island & dining area to maximise the social space.
The games room bar is designed with a new steel door front Laika & compliments the moody aesthetic. The games room bar is fully equipped with wine coolers, sinks & taps & ice maker. The stainless steel worktops from Italy finish the aesthetic of the design.
Sola KitchensMultifunctional at its core, this kitchen is designed for cooking, eating and entertaining.
Painted in a calming mint green and bluey grey, the cabinetry is paired with a light-enhancing Bianco Mysterio worktop.
Super cool metallic bar stools and coloured glass lamp shades add a modern flair to this design.
piquThis stylish monochrome modern kitchen in Bickley features an ‘L’ shaped layout with a kitchen island. This allows for the open plan living space to be perfectly zoned. There is a practical ‘work-space’ on one side with the Siemens induction hob, ovens, fridge and freezer and seating on the other which is great for entertaining. Stunning Black Beauty Sensa stone has been used for a full height backsplash and for a featured raised section on the kitchen island. This has been coupled with a worktop in Compac Glaciar Quartz that reaches down to the floor.
YARD ArchitectsThis project inverts the typical side-return extension typology. By extending only to the rear of an end of terrace Victorian house, the side-return space becomes an external courtyard which acts as the focal point of the entire ground floor.
This project started from a Don’t Move, Improve consultation in 2017. Here, Natasja and Grant arrived with two young children, looking for more living space, without any fully formed ideas as to what this might be. Initial design exercises highlighted the courtyard option as a strong proposal. A tall flank wall to the north meant that overlooking was not an issue. The path of the sun also meant that the existing side-return space was the sunniest in the house for most of the year, benefiting from south-westerly sun, otherwise obscured to the rear garden due to the tall boundary walls. It made perfect sense to extend into the rear garden and retain the side-return as a courtyard suntrap.
The huge amount of height in the back half of the existing house was put to good use with an extensive plywood bookshelf on the north flank, with cupboards below to store toys for the children. The slim white structure of the extension was referenced in the design of the balustrades and new curved steps leading down from the formal living space at the front of the house.
The kitchen roof was designed predominantly around the concept of allowing existing views of the trees and direct sunlight through into this courtyard. Large plywood fins provide both structural support and a softening and reflecting of the light within the kitchen space. Although the roof of the kitchen is almost entirely fully glazed, the plywood feels both warm and massive, adding a comforting weight to what is otherwise a lightweight insertion.
The extension is entirely timber framed, constructed using prefabricated panels slotted together inside the existing brickwork boundary walls. This light touch approach had great environmental and cost benefits. The composition of the main courtyard elevation of the extension continued the sense of the lightweight and is inspired by minimalist Japanese architecture – also beloved of the clients, one of whom was Dutch and the other half Japanese.
Full height sliding glass doors to two sides of the courtyard were essential to provide fluidity in the flow and usability of the space, with a sliding window at worktop level in the kitchen providing a servery to the outside.
Additional work throughout the house included a refit of the master en-suite bathroom, wc, and family bathroom on the top floor. The master en-suite incorporated a deep Japanese soaking tub, and white oiled oak joinery which continued the language established on the ground floor.
