Interior Design in Hastings

‍

Alongside our architectural services, we offer residential interior design in Hastings and the surrounding areas.

Our interior design services include complete home refurbishments, kitchen and bathroom design, bespoke joinery, lighting design, material selection and interior space planning.

We enjoy combining original period features with contemporary materials, colour and detailing to create interiors that feel individual, welcoming and timeless.

By offering architecture and interior design together, we can create a cohesive approach to your project, ensuring the building and its interiors work seamlessly.

Listed Buildings & Conservation Areas

‍

Renovating a listed building or property within a conservation area requires a sensitive and informed approach.

We work with homeowners on heritage renovations, listed building consent applications and architectural alterations to historic properties in Hastings and East Sussex.

Our approach focuses on retaining important historic features while carefully introducing modern interventions, improving natural light, functionality and energy efficiency where appropriate.

Whether restoring a Victorian townhouse, adapting an Edwardian property or designing a contemporary extension to a historic home, we aim to celebrate the existing architecture rather than compete with it.

‍

Contemporary Extensions & Design-Led Homes

‍

We believe contemporary architecture can complement traditional buildings.

From modern rear extensions and open-plan kitchen spaces to complete home renovations and bespoke new-build houses, our designs focus on natural light, material quality, spatial flow and a strong connection between indoors and outdoors.

We also undertake barn conversions and rural residential projects throughout East Sussex, combining traditional building character with contemporary architectural design.
