PROJECTS

With a background in design and construction, Sara's projects have been happily diverse in scale, budget and location.

Ranging from – the refurbishment of the 15th century Queens' College, Cambridge through numerous houses and apartments in Hong Kong, Delhi, Sydney, Tokyo and Great Britain – projects include the design of a major new villa in the Moroccan desert (featured in ‘Inside Marrakech’ - by Rizzoli) and, most recently, a private train.

Sara has always pushed boundaries for her clients and is now based in Chelsea, London.

TREASURE HUNTING

Sara has travelled extensively gathering artisans and suppliers for her international and UK projects.

Finishing touches, attention to detail . . . is what makes the magic happen!

TESTIMONIALS

"Sara has worked on several projects for us over the years. No one has a better eye for design and a more innate style. She has a fantastic talent for spotting the hidden gem as well" (SO - West Sussex project)

"Sara sourced treasures for our house that we'd never in a million years have found... No one is better" (SDE - Cambridge and Bath project)

"Sara has done the interior design on two houses for me, one in London and one in Marrakech. She has a fantastic eye for design and style . She has sourced nearly all of the furniture from many different countries, the results have been exceptional" (DSS - London and Marrakech projects)
"I first saw Sara’s work in a friend’s exquisite home. She was my first call when we bought our cottage in Dorset and decided to refurb. Her taste and experience are unsurpassed. She understands colour combinations, textures and the potential of a space better than anyone. She has surprised and delighted me with her suggestions for wallpapers, fabrics and furniture knowing all the best suppliers and opening doors (and ideas) to me that I didn’t know existed. She is a delight to work with and her attention to detail is extraordinary. I cannot recommend Sara highly enough. I don’t want my project to end— I am loving the process of discovery.” (AW - Dorset)

CONSULTANCY

For professionals:

Sara can collaborate on your projects and source key elements on request.

FOR PRIVATE CLIENTS:

The volume of choices available can be overwhelming, Sara can help you draw up a masterplan. Once she has set you up with good checklists, specification sheets and directories of suppliers your project will become a whole lot easier.

The first thing to do is to consider four simple questions:

1. What would you like to achieve?

2. What do you like?

3. What don't you like?

4. How involved in the decision making process would you like to be?
