The Brief This client from Cranleigh, Surrey, sought to transform their bedroom space with built-in furniture and numerous storage solutions. In terms of theme, this couple were inspired by a natural wood and gloss display from our Horsham showroom, which they wished to replicate in their bedroom. A design also needed to include clever solutions to maximise space, but also incorporate decorative areas to store decorative items. Design Elements Cabinetry from our Yorkshire based bedroom specialist Daval has been used for this renovation. Designer Alistair has combined Blonde Oak cabinets with Cashmere Gloss door fronts, in a style similar to the display they were inspired by at our Horsham showroom. Alistair has created a design that maximises storage space, whilst including numerous decorative areas this client requested. Special Inclusions Some clever storage solutions help this bedroom space tick. One being pull-down rails, to ensure this client can reach higher clothing rails within tall storage. Another is the SERVO-DRIVE mechanisms, built-into storage above the bed. This is a touch-to-open mechanism that will help this client access storage in a slightly restricted space, with minimal effort. Project Highlight To help decorate the bedroom space, this client requested some decorative areas to be included to store cherished and essential items. Bed-side tables, a book shelf near the headboard, and another storage area help to provide this, and designer Alistair has enhanced these areas with ambient downlights. The End Result This project showcases the amazing transformation that fitted bedroom furniture can make to a bedroom space. Designer Alistair has created a great design to fully achieve this client’s requirements, and all the elements of their initial brief.

The clients called me on the recommendation from a neighbor of mine who had met them at a conference and learned of their need for an architect. They contacted me and after meeting to discuss their project they invited me to visit their site, not far from White Salmon in Washington State. Initially, the couple discussed building a ‘Weekend’ retreat on their 20± acres of land. Their site was in the foothills of a range of mountains that offered views of both Mt. Adams to the North and Mt. Hood to the South. They wanted to develop a place that was ‘cabin-like’ but with a degree of refinement to it and take advantage of the primary views to the north, south and west. They also wanted to have a strong connection to their immediate outdoors. Before long my clients came to the conclusion that they no longer perceived this as simply a weekend retreat but were now interested in making this their primary residence. With this new focus we concentrated on keeping the refined cabin approach but needed to add some additional functions and square feet to the original program. They wanted to downsize from their current 3,500± SF city residence to a more modest 2,000 – 2,500 SF space. They desired a singular open Living, Dining and Kitchen area but needed to have a separate room for their television and upright piano. They were empty nesters and wanted only two bedrooms and decided that they would have two ‘Master’ bedrooms, one on the lower floor and the other on the upper floor (they planned to build additional ‘Guest’ cabins to accommodate others in the near future). The original scheme for the weekend retreat was only one floor with the second bedroom tucked away on the north side of the house next to the breezeway opposite of the carport. Another consideration that we had to resolve was that the particular location that was deemed the best building site had diametrically opposed advantages and disadvantages. The views and primary solar orientations were also the source of the prevailing winds, out of the Southwest. The resolve was to provide a semi-circular low-profile earth berm on the south/southwest side of the structure to serve as a wind-foil directing the strongest breezes up and over the structure. Because our selected site was in a saddle of land that then sloped off to the south/southwest the combination of the earth berm and the sloping hill would effectively created a ‘nestled’ form allowing the winds rushing up the hillside to shoot over most of the house. This allowed me to keep the favorable orientation to both the views and sun without being completely compromised by the winds.
