Beachside bolthole
This vibrant Victorian townhouse, overlooking the Strait of Dover, serves as a weekend retreat for a London-based actor. The design reflects the dual purpose of the space: a cosy sanctuary for relaxation during the week and a lively venue 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.
