Beachside bolthole
This vibrant Victorian townhouse, overlooking the Strait of Dover, serves as a weekend retreat for a London-based actor. A passionate art collector, the client sought to weave their collection into the design, creating a home that balances two identities: a serene, restorative escape, and a spirited setting for weekend gatherings and house parties.

Our approach focused on creating a versatile space that balances intimacy with expansiveness. The client’s eclectic art collection is prominently displayed throughout, adding personality and storytelling to every room. From a playful Marc Camille Chaimowicz collage of ice creams by the seafront to a striking abstraction of rusty hinges opposite a witty Ian Hamilton Finlay print, the artworks infuse the home with character. Each piece feels like a conversation, adding to the home’s welcoming, dynamic atmosphere.
