Open plan Living/Kitchen & Snug renovation project in Shelford/Cambridge

Open Plan Living, Kitchen & Snug

This snug was created as part of a wider home extension for a client who wanted a space that felt both connected and cocooned—a gentle transition between the kitchen, living room, and garden. It’s now a favourite spot to unwind by the inbuilt wood burner, with views out to the garden and a quiet intimacy that invites pause.

The brief was clear: every area needed to flow effortlessly, both visually and emotionally. We achieved this through bespoke interior design rooted in Cambridge sensibilities, layering textures, selecting a palette that echoed the tones of the surrounding rooms, and introducing materials that felt tactile and grounded. Lighting played a key role—soft wall lamps and natural daylight from the clerestory window help shift the mood from day to evening, while highlighting the depth of the finishes.

This space isn’t just a passage—it’s a destination. A place to curl up with a book, enjoy a morning coffee, or simply sit and watch the garden change with the seasons. It reflects our studio’s belief that even the smallest spaces deserve emotional resonance and thoughtful design.
