Studio Philosophy

Good rooms aren't decided. They're discovered.

We're a small London studio of seven, founded in 2014 by Cora Linden and Hattie Vale. We work in a long, slow rhythm — usually five to eight projects a year.
The Six Steps
  1. 01

    Listen

    We start with a long conversation. How you actually live, what you keep, what irritates you about your current home, what you've always wanted to try.

  2. 02

    Site & Survey

    We measure, photograph, and walk every room. Light is mapped at three times of day. Architecture, scale and flow get documented.

  3. 03

    Two Directions

    Two distinct design directions presented in full — moodboards, plans, materials, and key furniture pieces. You choose one to develop.

  4. 04

    Refine & Specify

    Every finish, fixture, fabric and piece of furniture is specified, drawn or sourced. Custom millwork goes to detail. Budget tracked to the pound.

  5. 05

    Build & Procure

    We coordinate trades, schedule deliveries, troubleshoot site issues, and quietly resolve the hundred small decisions a build asks for.

  6. 06

    Install & Reveal

    Furniture, art, styling, fresh linen and last-second flowers — handed over in one carefully composed reveal.

What We Believe

Restraint, not minimalism.

Rooms should feel layered and warm. Restraint means saying no to the wrong thing — not no to everything.

Slow over fast.

Good homes take time. We refuse to rush a brief, a build, or a budget — even when a client wants us to.

Heirlooms over trends.

We invest in the pieces you'll keep. Trends get used carefully, as accents — never as foundations.

The Studio

A team of seven.

Two founding principals, three senior designers, a project manager, and a studio coordinator. Every project is led by a principal from first conversation through reveal day — never handed off.
