Kiawah Island, with its long, windswept beaches, grey-green marshlands and silvery spanish moss laden trees was the inspiration for this beach house.
Our client wanted a comfortable home where their family could spend time together. It had to be robust enough to work for beach life with grandchildren, but also elegant enough for formal entertaining.
We collaborated with Gomm Studio to complete this project.
Avid art collectors, this couple needed a home which would showcase their extraordinary artwork. The contemporary space could not be altered and it was up to us to create a formal but comfortable atmosphere within the existing architecture.
By mixing new and existing antiques, contemporary pieces, and a selection of bespoke furniture and rugs designed by CPDS especially for them, we have produced a light and captivating living gallery for this chic couple.
Originally built in 1890, this completely reconstructed 18 room, adults only, boutique hotel in Bohinj has reopened its doors. We worked with the young and dynamic team of hoteliers to create a space that combines the 129 year old heritage with contemporary design. The interior exudes comfort, with a splash of humour and a nod to nature and local farming and hunting traditions.
The successful blending of old with new, traditional with contemporary, and comfort with sustainability, is what makes this project truly special
Ljubljana is steeped in Art Nouveau history. When designing the interiors for this new city centre apartment, we chose to follow that lead—to soften the new-build feel with finishes reminiscent of the elegance and craftsmanship of a bygone era. Calacatta and wood-inlay-look ceramics, warm natural oak, tactile grasscloth wallpaper, and a soft palette of blues and greens combine to evoke the refined atmosphere of a chic boutique hotel.
Balancing classic contemporary design with subtle historical references, the apartment feels both grounded and elevated. Bespoke joinery and a custom-designed kitchen and bathroom lend a sense of individuality, while carefully considered textures and lighting create a space that feels timeless yet distinctly of today. The result is a calm, characterful retreat in the heart of the city.

This hip bachelor pad in Knightsbridge was completely remodelled and furnished. Here we created an atmosphere that is decidedly mid century but fits seamlessly into the originally Georgian space.
The calm, masculine lines and luxurious finishes, along with the neutral colours and layered textures attest to our young client’s aesthetic.
The Zlata Vila (Golden Fairy) legend was the inspiration for this new private spa at Sunrose 7 Boutique Hotel. The latest boutique travel trends, sustainability, energy efficiency, and a multitude of possibilities for pampering after experiencing the local environment, were the main criteria for our client. Our challenge was to fit all of this into two basement rooms and still create a fairytale space.
We opted for a contrast between dark and mysterious with a sprinkle of gold like the mystical places where fairies are born, and light and romantic like a wishful story about an elusive golden fairy.
And, because every fairytale needs a mouse, we added these tiny gold and white creatures to bring a warm glow and unique vitality to this story full of carefully crafted details.

Robert A.M. Stern Architects remodelled this building on the south side of Gramercy Park in Manhattan. We worked within the new classically designed space to create a family home for our client and their young adult children.
We transformed architectural elements salvaged from the neighbourhood to bring a story of Manhattan to the interior; and paid homage to the 1930’s heritage through furnishings and accessories.
This traditional Slovenian “Zidanice” cottage perched on the slope of a vineyard in Slovenia’s picturesque Bizeljsko-Sremič wine region was fully renovated into a warm and characterful retreat.
The new architectural and interior design blends heritage inspiration with vintage elements to create a home that feels timeless and deeply rooted in place.
We remodelled this central Singapore apartment to create an open plan living space with glossy blue kitchen and hand cut mosaic marble floor. We mixed mid century antiques with contemporary Italian designed furniture to transform the space into a cool and stylish guest apartment.
This is contemporary Singapore but with a blue twist.
Transition from Hotel Golf to Hotel Rikli Balans. This midcentury hotel is a modernist landmark on the hill above the lake in beautiful Bled, Slovenia. Built in the 1960’s it was in sore need of refurbishment.
We proposed and installed two test suites on a highly engineered budget, remaining true to the modernist design. The limited base palette can easily be dressed for either winter or summer, with colourful and textured accessories.
The brief for this Georgian house in London was: light, livable, informal, effortlessly stylish.
The client has lived, and collected furniture and accessories from, all over the world. Working with these and adding timeless new pieces, we created a comfortable family home which is chic and eclectic, and flows fluidly from one space to the next.
Originally a space for hiding weapons and food through two world wars, The Cellar @ Sunrose 7 is now a premier wine tasting room and brandy snug, sporting Slovenia’s best wines alongside international brands and selected brandies.
We used locally sourced natural timbers to give the space an authentic edge. And that table…!
