Challenges & Solutions

Challenge 1 – Achieving design cohesion across multiple spaces

Different rooms required individual solutions while maintaining a unified style.

Solution:
A consistent material palette, lighting strategy, and detailing approach was applied across kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas to create visual continuity.

Challenge 2 – Compact bathroom layouts

Limited space required careful planning to avoid overcrowding.

Solution:
Wall-hung fixtures, integrated storage, and large-format tiles were used to maximise space and enhance visual openness.

Challenge 3 – Lighting balance

The property needed both functional and ambient lighting without visual clutter.

Solution:
Layered lighting was introduced, combining recessed LEDs, feature pendants, and indirect LED strips for warmth and depth.
