Project Information


Our clients approached us having recently purchased a new-build home in Clerkenwell. The house was less than 10 years old, but the interior was ill-considered and the finishes already looking tired. Our brief was to inject a new lease of life into the house and make tweaks to the layout that unlocked the maximum use of each space. For instance, zones below the staircase and ceiling voids above bathrooms were all opportunities to carve out more space for practical purposes.

We wanted the whole house to be used by the family on a daily basis, so rooms are given varied and multiple functions: workspace, yoga studio, playroom. Sliding screens and folding doors transform the feeling of a room and allow these flexible uses to work side by side. A desk concealed in a wardrobe creates a place to work-from-home that can also be tidied away when guests come to stay. Part of a large bathroom is converted into a small but practical utility cupboard, hidden behind a folding door. And large sliding screens in the kitchen conceal a pantry area and a wine rack in a pull-out drawer.

A simple and unifying palette of materials was selected, with pale walls and warm-toned oak flooring throughout, combined with marble accents in the bathrooms. This sets a neutral setting for the clients’ colourful furnishings, artwork and belongings- and excellent collection of house plants!

Client Testimonial


‘Sarah at Sinclair Studios was everything we could have wished for on this project. She was incredibly good at listening to our needs and ideas and translating that into a project that more than met our expectations, and a house we use and enjoy every inch of every day. She was also invaluable in helping us assess the contractors’ costing, their progress and their realisation of design details. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone with a project, big or small. Thanks again Sarah, for making our new living space a reality!’
