The colour palette throughout this remarkable house was based on our client’s wish to echo the local landscape. One of our most playful projects so far, we experimented with tonal variations and specialist finishes, such as textural tadelakt walls in one of the bathrooms. We also enlisted decorative painter Tess Newall to create a mural on the plaster-effect walls in the kitchen, and to embellish one of the guest bedrooms with a charming, oak leaf border.
