As we all know there are amazing Design Studio’s all over the globe, and I’m going to show you the best of Retrouvius.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

HISTORY<\/h3>\n

Retrouvius was founded in July of 1993 by Adam Hills\u00a0and Maria Speake\u00a0initially as a vehicle\u00a0for working with the Glasgow conservation world and local demolition firms. As a result the early jobs included several redundant churches. Later in August 1996, they had their first interior design project<\/em><\/strong>. Nowadays, Maria and Adam carry on with their amazing work and projects<\/strong><\/em>. Meanwhile in 2019, \u00a0Maria Speake (Creative Director of Retrouvius Design) was consider House & Garden’s<\/a> Designer of the Year<\/strong>. Therefore\u00a0you can see some of the work and best projects of this team.<\/p>\n

FAMILY HOME W11<\/h3>\n

\"BEST \"BEST<\/p>\n

To create a glamorous home<\/strong><\/em> suited to the needs of small children and their parents, they opened out the space right from the front door. A wall was removed (no more dragging buggies up the corridor, an open space concept) and spaces designed for flexible use. The family kitchen is ultra durable, allowing the children free reign during the daytime, but sophisticated enough to host an elegant dinner party.<\/p>\n

COUNTRY HOME IN THE CITY<\/h3>\n

\"BEST \"BEST<\/p>\n

From the inside, even if it’s hard to believe, this unique project<\/strong><\/em> is a central London townhouse. This project is composed of baked earth, eroded stone, oxidised metal and handmade textiles, and all of this ‘ingredients’ contribute to a sense of rootedness in nature. The Interior designers decided to move the staircase leading down to the basement pulled the ground floor rooms together, and allowed for a serene and uncluttered kitchen and living space below (with a view on to the garden). At the top of the house, the ceiling was raised to the roof, giving the upper levels a soaring sense of space. To sum\u00a0up, this is what makes this project so special and different.<\/p>\n

AN URBAN BEACH HOUSE FOR A SWINGING BACHELOR<\/h3>\n

\"RETROUVIUS: \"RETROUVIUS:<\/p>\n

One of the first architectural projects<\/strong> <\/em>in London by Retrouvius for a photographer named Guy Hills. He wanted a flexible space in which he could live, work and throw fabulous parties.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe brief was very simple: I asked for an urban beach house<\/em><\/strong>. My studio was downstairs, together with a darkroom and makeup room: upstairs I had my bachelor pad. The building was just an empty shell: Maria built a wardrobe, kitchen, tables and a platform bed beneath a glass ceiling. The floor was white marble pebbles set in resin. It was quite simple, but a very clever use of space. When you live in a studio flat and have a bed that doubles up as a sofa it\u2019s never very convincing: by having the bed above the room, you felt like you were in a different space. It was hanging on very fine steel: it was very cleverly engineered. When busses came rocketing past on the road outside you\u2019d feel the vibrations. The bed was a staging place on the way to look at the stars.\u201d<\/p>\n
