Oxfordshire Village House

By reconfiguring spaces to improve circulation, introducing capacious bespoke joinery and display areas and selection of luxurious materials, Pippa Paton Design has reinvented this village house as a highly functional yet luxurious modern family home where spaces transition seamlessly both internally and externally.

The hall, with striking dark timber staircase and panelled walls, leads to an expansive kitchen affording an impressive seven-metre island, with oversized industrial hinges and lay-on bronze-wrapped doors, at the centre of the loft-like space.

In the master suite the layout, volume and storage, and use of luxe materials such as floor-to-ceiling hand-silvered mirrored panels in the ensuite, provide a functional yet truly relaxing space.

The spatial design, layout and selection of materials throughout ensure a warm and welcoming atmosphere where luxe materials sit comfortably against the predominantly neutral backdrop of warm grey and blush tones, and dark furnishings ensure a more intimate feel in places.
