VESP ArchitectsA neutral palette of white walls and ceilings allow the timber structure, herringbone timber floor, and beautifully crafted timber joinery in the room to take centre stage. The kitchen island and units behind are all faced in fluted Oak panels. A brass kick plate at floor level provides a highlight of colour and visual break between the wooden floor and kitchen doors.
LIFE SIZE ArchitectureThis iconic building in Poynings is very well known and completely unique in look, style and arrangement,. The clients took on the huge restoration project with a clear goal in mind to bring the property back to modern standards and better configure the layout internal and make a feature of the internal courtyard space. The extended parts allow the kitchen and entrance spaces to better flow and connect the stable wings, while the new garden arrangement brings the beauty of the South Downs onto the site.
Working with the SDNP presented a really nice opportunity to use the existing building form and enhance this with local building styles, techniques and well sourced materials to bring the property into a new use. It was a well thought out process to ensure both the owners, national park and local community were happy with the final look of this unique building.

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.
