Biophilic home by the park

On appearance, this modest detached family home is a familiar suburban abode, but step inside, and you’re transported to a pulse-calming, forest-inspired scheme that invites you to kick back and relax. Motivated by the iconic local park beyond the property boundary, I designed a biophilic interior that is both practical for everyday living, whilst invoking a serene and laid-back connection to nature.

I devised a contemporary, light and airy concept that drew on natural textures, patterns and colours found in the views outside, whilst complementing the owners' taste for simple, unfussy interiors. I encouraged my clients to embrace the outdoors by incorporating corner sliding doors and a large picture window, to bring more natural light into the spaces and seal their bond with the woodland outside. This suggestion led them to further assess the first-floor layout, kicking off a larger project which also introduced a Primary Bedroom, Dressing Area and Ensuite overlooking the treetops, which you will see also designed.
