Northamptonshire – Story One

Northamptonshire – Story One

This prestigious single-build executive home is nestled in beautiful rural surroundings, designed to balance modern comfort with timeless elegance. The brief was to create a contemporary family home where every room flows seamlessly into the next, unified by a calm, neutral palette elevated with thoughtful detailing and refined finishes.

Across the property, the design captures a sense of understated luxury, with carefully considered materials, bespoke joinery, and subtle architectural touches that bring cohesion and character to each space. The result is a home that feels both modern and enduring, perfectly suited to its setting — a place where functionality and style work hand in hand.

The kitchen embodies the home’s contemporary design ethos, using a palette of soft taupes and neutrals elevated by striking bronze and oxidised bronze finishes. Tall cabinetry at the rear of the space provides a seamless backdrop, housing ovens, storage towers, an integrated coffee station, and a built-in fridge-freezer — all designed for both function and elegance.

At the heart of the room, the island forms a bold statement piece with its waterfall quartz worktop and warm bronze detailing. It offers generous seating, a practical preparation area, and a bespoke table setting crafted from the same worktop material, ensuring both cohesion and a refined sense of luxury.

The adjoining utility continues the same design language, combining practical storage and workspace with the same elevated finishes, reinforcing the home’s commitment to both beauty and functionality.

At the heart of the snug is a characterful brick fireplace, a cherished feature retained from the original house. Flanking this, bespoke cabinetry and glass shelving create both balance and visual interest, blending old and new with ease. The result is a warm, inviting space designed for relaxation while maintaining the home’s contemporary flow
